E. M. Forster

Biography

English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster's humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: "Only connect ... ". His 1908 novel, A Room with a View, is his most optimistic work, while A Passage to India (1924) brought him his greatest success.

He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 16 different years.

Forster was homosexual (open to his close friends, but not to the public) and a lifelong bachelor. He developed a long-term relationship with Bob Buckingham, a married policeman. Forster included Buckingham and his wife May in his circle, which included J. R. Ackerley, W. J. H. Sprott, Benjamin Britten, Christopher Isherwood, Siegfried Sassoon, and Forrest Reid.

Forster died of a stroke on 7 June 1970 at the age of 91, at the Buckinghams' home in Coventry.
