E M Forster by Harry T Moore
Edward Morgan Forster (1 January 1879 - 7 June 1970) is one of the most revered of modern English novelists.
His 1908 novel, `A Room with a View', is his most optimistic work, while `Howard's End' (1910) and `A Passage to India' (1924) brought him his greatest success, and are widely considered his greatest achievements.
But what was the nature of Foster's genius, and why are his books still so popular?
The value of his fiction lies to a great extent in his representative portraits of people.
Harry T Moore examines Forster's five novels, and his collections of short stories to get to the heart of his writing, and to shed light on the life of this remarkable man.
Harry T Moore (1908-1981) is best remembered for his studies of the life and works of D.H. Lawrence. He also wrote and edited books on the writings of John Steinbeck, E.M. Forster, Henry James, as well as several collections of essays on twentieth-century literature. Moore's biography of Lawrence, `The Priest of Love' became the basis for a film starring Ian McKellen and Janet Suzman in 1981.
