It is not difficult to find all of the fiction of Henry James in virtually any large library or bookstore. However, he wrote a copious amount of non-fiction which is often overlooked. In addition, many people have compiled collections of letters and other papers relating to James, despite the fact that he burned most of his personal papers.
