Forster’s book contains a series of lectures which he gave in 1927 at Trinity College, Cambridge. Its 'lively, informed originality and wit have made this book a classic. Avoiding the chronological approach of what he calls “pseudoscholarship,” he freely examines aspects all English-language novels have in common: story, people, plot, fantasy, prophecy, pattern, and rhythm.' (Goodreads)

This is the MR Literary Club selection for February 2017. Whether you've already read it or would like to, feel free to start or join in the conversation at any time, and guests are always welcome! So, what are your thoughts on it?
