E.M. Forster Collected editions

E.M. Forster (1879 – 1970) was an English novelist, essayist, and critic whose works explore class, culture, and human connection. His novel A Passage to India is a profound examination of colonial tensions and cross-cultural misunderstandings during the British Raj.

Forster’s other novels — including Howards End and A Room with a View — balance social commentary with keen psychological insight. His essays and lectures championed liberal humanism and the belief that personal relationships could transcend social divisions.

Through his humane vision and elegant prose, E.M. Forster remains one of the most admired voices of 20th-century English literature.
