About Maurice
Maurice is the sixth and final completed novel by E. M. Forster. In accordance with Forster’s own wishes, the novel was not published until a year after his death, as it is a heartfelt exploration of same-sex love and relationships, reflecting Forster’s own sexual orientation. Given that homosexuality was still illegal in the United Kingdom at the time of writing, Forster feared reprisals if it were to be published during his lifetime. The novel tells the story of the eponymous protagonist Maurice Hall’s exploration and gradual acceptance of his sexuality, focusing on his relationships with the erudite Clive Durham and the down-to-earth Alec Scudder, and featured one of the first “happy endings” for a same-sex couple in mainstream modern literature.
About E. M. Forster
E. M. Forster was an English writer who wrote six novels and a number of other works of fiction and non-fiction during his lifetime. His works often explore class differences and sexuality (Forster himself was gay, and his posthumous novel Maurice depicts a relationship between two men), and his literary output was shaped by his humanist beliefs. His best-known works include A Room with a View, Howards End and A Passage to India, all of which met with critical acclaim. Indeed, Forster was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature on 16 occasions, but he never won the award.This practical and insightful reading guide offers a complete summary and analysis of Maurice by E.
