the Henry James
|
This web-site will enable you to find out which textual versions of which Henry James tales (short-stories) have appeared in which collections published over the years, including ones in Jamess own life-time (as sources). For completeness, details are also given of the original magazine sources, where appropriate. Collections which are thought to be currently in print are noted with the latest known price in the country of origin. Additions and corrections are made from time to time, as information becomes available, so the foot of each page shows the date of the latest update.

Many thanks to Gert Buelens at the University of Ghent for the original details of the Library of America volumes 82 and 83. Also to Richard Hathaway, compiler of the Henry James scholars Guide to Web Sites, for the initial details of the available etexts.
The pages here are generated by a Perl program which I have developed, using a database which I maintain when I have time to spare. At present, printed collections are indexed only if they comprise solely or mainly of Henry Jamess work; appearances of individual tales in anthologies await further work, but, if you are after such details now, I can refer you to the annual listings printed in the journal Studies in short fiction from about 1970 onwards (vol. 7 seems to contain the first). If you have further information about solely James collections, for example details of those not yet indexed here (you can check this in the list of all collections), please contact me with the fullest details you can and I will endeavour to add them into the database in the future.
