At the time of Henry James’s death, he was a mostly-forgotten and largely unread novelist.  The period after World War II, however, saw a dramatic renewal of interest in the study of his novels, which continues to this day.  In order to display the remarkable breadth of study that is carried out on James, below is a listing of every book published about Henry James between 2000 and 2003.
