E. M. Forster

Edward Morgan Forster, generally published as E.M. Forster, was an novelist, essayist, and short story writer. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. His humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: "Only connect".

He had five novels published in his lifetime, achieving his greatest success with A Passage to India (1924) which takes as its subject the relationship between East and West, seen through the lens of India in the later days of the British Raj.

Forster's views as a secular humanist are at the heart of his work, which often depicts the pursuit of personal connections in spite of the restrictions of contemporary society. He is noted for his use of symbolism as a technique in his novels, and he has been criticised for his attachment to mysticism. His other works include Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room with a View (1908) and Maurice (1971), his posthumously published novel which tells of the coming of age of an explicitly gay male character.

Miss Bart­lett, though skilled in the del­ic­acies of con­ver­sa­tion, was power­less in the pres­ence of bru­tal­ity. It was im­possible to snub any­one so gross. Her face reddened with dis­pleas­ure.

Over such tri­vi­al­it­ies as these many a valu­able hour may slip away, and the trav­el­ler who has gone to Italy to study the tact­ile val­ues of Gi­otto, or the cor­rup­tion of the Pa­pacy, may re­turn re­mem­ber­ing noth­ing but the blue sky and the men and wo­men who live un­der it.

and she stopped, and she cried:

“A smell! a true Florentine smell! Every city, let me teach you, has its own smell.”
