  • The Sacred Fount (em português, A fonte sagrada) é um romance de Henry James, publicado primeiramente em 1901. Este livro estranho, às vezes incompreensível, trata de um narrador que tenta descobrir a verdade sobre a vida amorosa de seus colegas de festa num final de semana em uma casa de campo inglesa. Ele considera ignóbeis os métodos "do detetive e o buraco da fechadura" , e, ao invés desses métodos, tenta decifrar os relacionamentos apenas pelo comportamento e aparência de cada convidado. Para tanto, gasta muita energia e engenho em suas teorias, para a diversão de algumas pessoas da festa. Edmund Wilson disse sobre este texto: "Se alguém realmente chegasse ao fundo da fonte sagrada, lançaria bastante luz sobre Henry James". (pt)
