Henry James (1843-1916) was an American novelist who was born in New York City but lived
most of his life in Europe and, in 1915, became a British citizen. His most famous works
include: "Washington Square," "The Portrait of a Lady," "The Turn of the Screw," and "The
Golden Bowl."
The collection consists of letters from the author Henry James to his advisor and friend,
Edward Prioleau Warren. The collection also includes letters from James to Margaret Cecil
Morrell Warren and Dorothy Warren; there is also one letter, written in 1920, from James'
sister-in-law, Alice Howe Gibbens James.
Processed by Huntington Library Staff in 1975; in November 2023, Gayle M. Richardson
created the finding aid.
