Forster (1879-1970) was a noted English publisher and critic and an associate of the Bloomsbury group. His first novel, "Where Angels Dread To Tread" appeared in 1905. "The Longest Journey" appeared in 1907, followed by "AN AREA WHICH HAS A View" (1908), structured partly on the materials from extended holiday seasons in Italy with his mother. "Howards End" (1910) was a tale that centred by using an British country house and dealt with the clash between two people, one interested in art and books, the other only in business. Maurice was modified several times during his life, and finally printed posthumously in 1971. If you relished "A Passing to India", you may like Rudyard Kipling's "Kim", also available in "Penguin Classics". "His great publication...masterly in its presence and its lucidity". (Anita Desai).
