E.M. Forster

Edward Morgan Forster was a British novelist, essayist, and short story writer known for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class differences and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society.

His most famous works include A Passage to India, Howards End, and A Room with a View.

Forster's writing often explored the pursuit of personal connections despite societal restrictions, reflecting his views as a secular humanist.

He was noted for his use of symbolism and criticized for his attachment to mysticism.

Forster's posthumously published novel Maurice dealt with homosexuality, a theme he was unable to openly address during his lifetime due to societal constraints.
