Edward Morgan Forster was born in London in 1879. He wrote six
novels, four of which appeared before the First World War, Where
Angels Fear to Tread (1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room
with a View (1908), and Howard's End (1910). An interval of
fourteen years elapsed before he published A Passage to India.
Maurice was published posthumously in 1971. He died in June
1970.
Writer, film critic and journalist Gilbert Adair was born in 1944.
He is the author of five novels, including The Holy Innocents
(1988), Love and Death on Long Island (1990), and A Closed Book
(1999). The Real Tadzio (2001), is a biography of the boy who
inspired Thomas Mann's Death in Venice. The Dreamers (2003), a tale
of sexual obsession set against the backdrop of the Paris street
riots of 1968, has recently been made into a film directed by
Bernardo Bertolucci.
Perhaps the most brilliant, the most dramatic, and the most passionate of [Forster's] works. (Lionel Trilling)
