After the second world war, he was contacted by Rupert Hart-Davis, who had established a publishing firm. He produced an edition of James's plays, and issued the first volume of a biography of James in 1953, followed by a second edition in 1962. The biography eventually ran to five volumes, with the last volume being published in 1972.
