Book Description
A major reassessment of the one of the greatest English novelist of the twentieth century, from celebrated critic Sir Frank Kermode. CONCERNING E.M. FORSTER is a rich, varied and original portrait of a literary great. When Sir Frank Kermode delivered the Clark Lectures at Cambridge University, he chose E.M. Forster as his subject; these lectures form the core of this book. Kermode reappraises the influence and meaning of Forster's oeuvre, offering a fascinating interpretation of his most celebrated work, A PASSAGE TO INDIA. There follows a series of interweaving discussions that bring to life diverse topics - Empire, class, poverty, the condition of the novel, the role of the artist - but always return to our enigmatic subject. Kermode also reflects on Forster's considerable talent and shortcomings, places him within a wider social context, and casts spotlight on his contemporaries, presenting a unique panorama of twentieth-century English literature.

Book Description
An essential companion to A Passage to India, a collection of the author’s own letters that read like “a close personal friend has shared his impressions” (Kirkus Reviews). In 1912, a young E. M. Forster traveled to India to serve as a secretary to the Maharajah of Dewas, a small Indian state. He was elevated to the rank of a minor noble, and eventually given the state’s highest honor, the Tukoji Rao III gold medal. This brief episode in Forster’s life became the basis for his masterwork, A Passage to India. In the letters included in The Hill of Devi, he shares his personal journey of discovering his beloved India for the first time. Forster paints a vivid, intimate picture of Dewas State—a strange, bewildering, and enchanting slice of pre-independence India. In this collection, Forster shares insight into the lives of Indian royalty and accounts of the stark contrast between their excesses and the poverty he encounters. From letters that set the scene for Forster’s lifelong friendship with the Maharaja, to an essay on the Maharaja himself and Forster’s experiences as the Maharaja’s personal secretary, The Hill of Devi is a fascinating chronicle of the author’s experience in the land he called “the oddest corner of the world outside Alice in Wonderland.”

Book Description
The Longest Journey is a bildungsroman by E. M. Forster, first published in 1907. It is the second of Forster's six published novels, following Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905) and preceding A Room with a View (1908) and Howards End (1910). It has a reputation for being the least known of Forster's novels, but was also the author's personal favourite and one of his most autobiographical. It is the only one of Forster's novels not to have received a film or television adaptation.

Book Description
Howard's End: A wealthy family bound by the rules of tradition and property, two independent, cultured sisters, and a young man living on the edge of poverty. A room with a view: Lucy Honeychurch falls in love while on a visit to Florence and must choose between fulfilling her social role or following her heart. Where angels fear to tread: Forster's first novel, a marvelously assured tragicomedy of English men and women adrift in Italy--now the basis for a major motion picture. When a young English widow has the effrontery to marry a penniless Italian while on the grand tour, her proper relations take it upon themselves to set things right.

Book Description
In The Study Of E.M. Forster S Enig¬Matic Fiction, The Author Has Attempted A Profile Of This Modern Janus, The Essence Of Whose Personality Inheres In The Subtlety Of The Hints He Drops And The Glimpses He Affords Into The Dark Recesses Of The Minds Involved In A Mysterious Universe. The Elusiveness Of His Work Produces An Art Which, Though Concrete And Tangi¬Ble, Is Punctuated By Reticences, Inter¬Spersed With Hesitations, Qualifications And Suggestions, Pregnant With Deep Meanings Like The Melodious Stirrings Of Music. The Book Is Primarily Based On The Author S Doctoral Dissertation, Ethics And Aesthetics In The Novels Of E.M. Forster. According To Dr. Singh, The Categories In Which Forster Ranges People Are Primarily Ethical; The Pattern He Imposes On Experience Is The Pattern Of His Ethical Vision. This Vision Is Fresh And Independent Affair, Its Tone Is Inquiring, Not Dogmatic. His Analysis Shows That The Aesthetic Pleasure That Forster S Novels Communicate Depends Mainly On His Gifts Of Characterization, His Mastery Of Dialogue, His Delicately Poised Irony, His Flexible Prose, And His Ingenuity In Unfolding Themes So That Each Novel Has A Meaning That Transcends The Sum Of Its Parts. The Book Enables Us To Understand E.M. Forster By Placing Him In Relation To The Thoughts Of Some Of The Leading Thinkers Of 20Th Century And The Socio¬Political Milieu Its Daring Adventures, Its Narrow Prejudices, Its Peculiar Social Norms Which Determined The Scope Of His Work. His Approach Is Refreshingly Original And He Makes Quite Perceptive Comments On The Comple¬Xity Of Forster S Art In Comparison With Henry James, D.H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad, George Orwell And Andre Gide As Also On His Craftsmanship As A Novelist.
