Approaches to E.M. Forster
Papers presented at a seminar organized at the Osmania University, 1979.
E.M. Forster
E. M. Forster ranks among the finest novelists of the twentieth century. In this informed and sensitive survey of Forster's works and life, Claude Summers offers a persuasive and moving account of this major writer's unique achievement. The book explores Forster's entire canon, including the short stories and nonfiction as well as the six new novels. In addition to a major new approach to Forster's masterpiece, "A Passage to India", Summers offers important new readings of the early books and of the posthumously published "Maurice", a novel of homosexual love that previous critics have seriously undervalued. Throughout, the author synthesizes recent Fosterian scholarship and adds new discoveries and fresh insights of his own. -- From publisher's description.
E. M. Forster
Based on exclusive access to E. M. Forster's previously restricted diaries this scrupulously researched and sensitively written biography is the first to put the fact that he was homosexual back at the heart of his story.

E. M. Forster, Best Novels
Edward Morgan Forster (1879 - 1970) was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Foster is the novelist who can be read again and again and who, after each reading, gives what few writers can give us after our first days of novel-reading, the sensation of having learned something else. In this book: A Room with a View, (1908) Howard's End, (1910) Where Angels Fear to Tread, (1905)
E. M. Forster
A concise critical study of Forster's personality, short stories, and novels.
E. M. Forster
Originally published in 1975, E. M. Forster: The Personal Voice draws on information about the life and works of E. M. Forster that came to light following his death in 1970. Exploring in particular the publication of Maurice in 1971, The Life to Come in 1972, and the Forster papers in King's College Library, Cambridge, this volume is an extensive study of E. M. Forster. It provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of Forster's work, his intellectual and literary background, his personality, and the reception of his work. E. M. Forster: The Personal Voice places Forster's works in their social and cultural context and provides an excellent insight into his development as a writer.
E.M.Forster
The five novels E.M.Forster published during his lifetime enjoyed a popularity and critical acclaim out of all proportion to this modest fictional output or the books' apparent pretensions: certainly since the publication of Howards End in 1910 he has been regarded almost without question as one of the foremost novelists of the century. Since his death in 1970 there has been no slackening of interest; the appearance of a comprehensive biography, an edition of his letters, a major critical edition of his works, and other scholarly and critical aids has given fresh impetus to the reassessment of his achievement. The present study provides a short account of Forster's life and career, followed by detailed discussion of his major writings. A final chapter considers his posthumous novel Maurice and the short stories. Although his most significant work belongs to the first quarter of the twentieth century, Forster's alliance of wit and seriousness, satiric comedy and moral insight, gives it a perennial freshness for new generations of students and readers.
E. M. Forster
One of the great novelists of the century--author of A Passage to India and Howards End--E.M. Forster has been an enigma to the public. In his new biography, Beauman wonderfully explores every aspect of Forster's life, evoking his lifelong obsession with houses, families, and inherited traditions. 16 pages of photos; 12 illustrations.
