Series: Brief Lives
Richard Canning, author of Brief Lives: Oscar Wilde, considers the literary development of E.M. Forster, that most English of writers, through the prism of his own biography. A century after his first novels were published, E.M. Forster remains one of the most widely read and best-loved authors of the twentieth century. He made his name with novels such as A Room with a View and Howard’s End, which, with their detailed analyses of English snobbery and xenophobia, established him as an uncompromising critic of hypocrisy. Forced to conceal his sexuality from his readership, Forster also wrote, but never published, a novel of gay love, Maurice. With characteristic flair, Richard Canning juxtaposes Forster’s public persona as a member of the English literary establishment with the joys and torments of his private life.
