Summary

"Index of the Project Gutenberg Works of Henry James" by Henry James is a detailed guide to the writings of a major American author from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The compilation acts like a list, organizing James's important novels, short stories, essays, and letters, which often explore themes of who we are, how we see the world, and the tricky parts of relationships. These writings, created when people were starting to understand psychology better, show a change from old-fashioned Victorian ideas to more modern ways of thinking. The collection includes famous works like "The Turn of the Screw," "The Portrait of a Lady," and "The Ambassadors," each looking closely at the characters and how they interact with society. For example, "The Portrait of a Lady" tells the story of Isabel Archer, a young American woman discovering love and freedom in Europe, while "The Turn of the Screw" is a spooky story full of uncertainty and mental suspense. Besides being a helpful tool for readers, this index also captures the wide range of James’s work and his study of what it means to be human, encouraging both longtime readers and new fans to discover his varied works.
