He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster's humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End : "Only connect." Forster was gay, but this fact was not made public during his lifetime. His posthumously released novel Maurice tells of the coming of age of an explicitly gay male character.

Forster (1879-1970) , noted English author wrote Howards End The words that were read aloud on Sunday to him and to other respectable men were the words that had once kindled the souls of St. Catherine and St. Francis into a white-hot hatred of the carnal. He could not be as the saints and love the Infinite with a seraphic ardour, but he could be a little ashamed of loving a wife. Amabat, amare timebat . And it was here that Margaret hoped to help him. It did not seem so difficult. She need trouble him with no gift of her own. She would only point out the salvation that was latent in his own soul, and in the soul of every man. Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die. Nor was the message difficult to give. It need not take the form of a good "talking." By quiet indications the bridge would be built and span their lives with beauty.

Forster's childhood and much of his adult life was dominated by his mother and his aunts. The legacy of his paternal great-aunt Marianne Thornton, descendant of the Clapham Sect of evangelists and reformers, gave later Forster the freedom to travel and to write. Forster's years at Tonbridge School as a teenager were difficult - he suffered from the cruelty of his classmates. Forster attended King's College, Cambridge (1897-1901), where he met members of the later-formed Bloomsbury group. In the atmosphere of skepticism, he became under the influence of Sir James Frazer, Nathaniel Wedd, Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson, and G.E. Moore, and shed his not-very-deep Christian faith. After graduating, Forster traveled in Italy and Greece with his mother and on his return began to write essays and short stories for the liberal Independent Review . In 1905 Foster spent several months in German as tutor to the children of the Countess von Armin. In the same year appeared his first novel

Forster Edward Morgan Forster was born in London on the first day of 1879. His father, an architect from a strict evangelical family, died of consumption soon after Forster was born, leaving him to be raised by his mother and paternal great-aunt. Because his mother was from a more liberal and somewhat irresponsible background, Forster's home life was rather tense. He was raised in the household of Rooksnest, which inspired Howards End . Forster was educated as a dayboy at the Tonbridge School, Kent, an experience responsible for a good deal of his later criticism of the English public school system. He then attended King's College, Cambridge, which greatly broadened his intellectual interests and provided him with his first exposure to Mediterranean culture, which counterbalanced the more rigid English culture in which he was raised. Forster became a writer shortly after graduating from King's College. His first novels were products of that particular time stories about the changing social conditions during the decline of Victorianism. However, these earlier works differed from Forster's contemporaries in their more colloquial style and established the author's early conviction that men and women should keep in touch with the land to cultivate their imaginations. He developed this theme in his first novels

Anybody who uses the Internet should read E.M. Forster's The Machine Stops . It is a chilling, short story masterpiece about the role of technology in our lives. Written in 1909, it's as relevant today as the day it was published. Forster has several prescient notions including instant messages (email!) and cinematophoes (machines that project visual images). -Paul Rajlich ( homepage *Special thanks to Ken Kruszka for introducing me to this story.

It is lighted neither by window nor by lamp, yet it is filled with a soft radiance. There are no apertures for ventilation, yet the air is fresh. There are no musical instruments, and yet, at the moment that my meditation opens, this room is throbbing with melodious sounds. An armchair is in the centre, by its side a reading-desk-that is all the furniture. And in the armchair there sits a swaddled lump of flesh-a woman, about five feet high, with a face as white as a fungus. It is to her that the little room belongs. An electric bell rang.

Forster embodied more fully than any other imaginative writer of his generation a modern gay-liberation perspective. Born in London on New Year's Day 1879, the son of a promising architect who was to die within the infant's first year of life, Forster grew up cosseted by a host of female relatives. He became aware of his homosexuality in the climate of repression and self-consciousness that permeated English society in the aftermath of the Wilde scandal of 1895. Sponsor Message. As a student at King's College, Cambridge, where he matriculated in 1897, he fell in love with a fellow undergraduate, with whom he enjoyed kisses and embraces but probably not genital sexuality. Forster, in fact, was not to experience a fully satisfying sexual relationship of any duration until he was nearly forty, when he fell in love with an Egyptian tram conductor in Alexandria in 1919. His sexual frustration undoubtedly influenced his art almost as much as his homosexuality itself, accounting for the emphasis in his early work on the need for sexual fulfillment and wholeness of being.

home about wbr editorial board contact us ... links Leaving Home: E.M.Forster and the Pursuit of Higher Values By Dharmachari Abhaya In the Buddha's day, leaving home was an accepted feature of the contemporary socio-religious ethos. It was not uncommon for people - mostly men, but occasionally women - to be so inspired by the Dharma that soon after their first encounter with the Buddha or one of his disciples, they would decide to drop everything and leave it all behind in pursuit of the Truth. Determined to make a clean break of it, they severed, at a single stroke, all bonds of family, caste and clan. In quoting the phrase 'dharmas never hold them', Sangharakshita is referring to the fourth line of the sixth verse of the Ratnagu.na-sa.mcayagaathaa (in Edward Conze's translation). [2] The whole line reads: 'Home' is the place we live, either literally or in our minds. It is our familiar environment, a place where we know our way around, and above all, where we feel secure. It is not only that on which we depend for our sense of security, but also that from which we derive our sense of identity. Without it, we feel insecure and afraid. Therefore we cling to it. We need it. We are enslaved by it. If it is destroyed or taken away from us, we are devastated, and feel lost. Sutta Nipaata – 'Cramped is this life at home, dusty its sphere' – is no longer frightening but inspiring, and the life of the Holy Man, the true Dharma-farer, wandering fancy-free, like gossamer on the breeze, becomes enviable. In this sense, home is experienced not as a nest, a comforting cocoon which one has to tear oneself away from, but rather as a prison, a stifling confinement from which one longs to break free.
