E. M. Forster idézet
oldal 4

Edward Morgan Forster angol regényíró, novellaíró és esszéíró. Művei közül ironikus és jól felépített regényei a legismertebbek, melyek a 20. századi Egyesült Királyság és Írország társadalmának osztálykülönbségeiből fakadó képmutatást mutatták be. Forster legismertebb regényei az Út Indiába és a Szellem a házban.

Forster homoszexuális volt, ám életében ezt nem vállalta fel a közvélemény előtt. Halála után kiadott regénye, a Maurice, egy felnőttkorba lépő meleg férfiről szól. Wikipedia
