About the author
E.M. Forster, born Edward Morgan Forster on January 1, 1879, was an outstanding English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. He is best known for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster's works have been acclaimed for their sympathetic and articulate rendering of the human heart. His celebrated novels include 'A Room with a View' (1908), 'Howards End' (1910), and 'A Passage to India' (1924), which have been cherished for their insights into the conflict between the individual and society. Though 'The Greatest Novels' is not a recognized title attributed to Forster, his legacy endures through his profound influence on subsequent generations of writers. With a measured yet evocative style characterized by its narrative lucidity, Forster has been a pioneer forging literary connections across cultures and championing liberal humanism. He was a member of the Bloomsbury Group, an assemblage of English writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists. His legacy includes a significant collection of essays and lectures on various subjects, ranging from personal reminiscences to commentary on the craft of writing and the role of the arts in society. E.M. Forster passed away on June 7, 1970, but his astute examinations of social and political issues cloaked in the fabric of eloquent prose resonate profoundly to this day.
