E. M. Forster: Passion and Prose

by Arthur Martland

E. M. Forster remains one of the most popular English writers of the twentieth century, but in the postmodern age he has been somewhat slighted by literary theory, while gay voices that have attached his apparent timidity in the face of extreme homophobia of his time. In this pioneering study, Arthur Martland reclaims Forster for the gay author he always was, his critique of conventional hypocrisies motivated and inspired throughout by a homosexual sensibility.
