Order of Henry James Books

Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-British author renowned for his literary fiction novels and stories. A prevalent theme in his works was the experience of American expatriates in Europe. His narratives often revolved around personal relationships, the appropriate exercise of power within those relationships, and various moral dilemmas. His innovative use of point of view, interior monologue, and unreliable narrators added a profound layer of complexity to realistic fiction, anticipating the modernist literature of the 20th century. James was a prolific writer; alongside his numerous fictional works, he contributed articles and books on diverse subjects and wrote plays, some of which enjoyed success during his lifetime. He made his novelistic debut in 1871 with "Watch and Ward," having previously published the play "Pyramus and Thisbe" in 1869. Below is a list of Henry James’ books in the order of their original release:

Henry James became a published novelist in 1866 with the novel Selected Tales. Below is a list of Henry James's books in order of when they were originally released:
