E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster (1879–1970) was one of the most important English novelists of the twentieth century, a quiet, unassuming man whose work bristled with moral intelligence. His major novels—A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India—all circle the same theme: the difficulty, and the necessity, of building bridges between people separated by class, culture, and convention. This author hub collects 3 works in the Canon Compass ranking, led by A Passage to India.
