詹姆斯的主要作品是小说，此外也写了许多文学评论、游记、传记和剧本。他的小说常写美国人和欧洲人之间交往的问题；的罪恶如何影响并摧残了纯洁、聪慧的儿童；物质与精神之间的；艺术家的孤独，作家和艺术家的生活等：这表明作家对个人道德品质的浓厚兴趣。这是深有文化教养的知识分子所怀有的人文主义倾向，而不是人们所熟悉的对贫苦大众的人道主义同情。作者赞美优美而淳厚的品德，把个人品质高高置于物质利益甚至文化教养之上，个人品质和他人利益高于一切。
　　詹姆斯著作有长篇小说《一个美国人》、《贵妇的画像》等。中短篇小说有《黛西·米勒》、《螺丝在旋紧》、《丛林猛》以及一组描写作家、艺术家生活的中短篇小说。詹姆斯写了许多很有见地的评论文章，涉及英、美、法等国作家，如乔治·艾略特、斯蒂文森、安东尼·特罗洛普、霍桑、爱默生、巴尔扎克、乔治·桑以及屠格涅夫等。有自传三种行世：《童年及其他》、《作为儿子与兄弟》和《中年》。
　　亨利·詹姆斯开创了心理分析小说的先河，在他的笔下，出现了仿佛是迷宫般的普通人的内心世界。在《鸽翼》(The Wings of the Dove，1902)中，他发掘了人物“最幽微，最朦胧”的思想和感觉，把“太空中跳动的脉搏”转化为形象。在兰登书屋（Random House）1996年评选的20世纪百部最佳英文小说中，亨利个人就占了三部。

Henry James, O.M. (April 15, 1843(1843-04-15) – February 28, 1916) was a U.S.-born British author. James is one of the key figures of 19th century literary realism. The son of theologian Henry James, Sr., brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, he spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. He is primarily known for a series of major novels in which he portrayed the encounter of America with Europe. His plots centered on personal relationships, the proper exercise of power in such relationships, and other moral questions. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allowed him to explore the phenomena of consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting.

James insisted that writers in Great Britain and America should be allowed the greatest freedom possible in presenting their view of the world, as French authors were. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators in his own novels and tales brought a new depth and interest to realistic fiction, and foreshadowed the modernist work of the twentieth century. An extraordinarily productive writer, in addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel writing, biography, autobiography, and criticism, and wrote plays, some of which were performed during his lifetime with moderate success. His theatrical work is thought to have profoundly influenced his later novels and tales.
