Maurice

E.M. Forster's Maurice is edited by P.N. Furbank with an introduction by David Leavitt in Penguin Classics. A tale of passion, bravery and defiance, this intensely personal novel was completed in 1914 but remained unpublished until after Forster's death in 1970. This edition reproduces the Abinger text of the novel, and includes new notes, a chronology and further reading.

About the Author

E.M. Forster (1879–1970) was a noted English author and critic and a member of the Bloomsbury group. His first novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread appeared in 1905. The Longest Journey appeared in 1907, followed by A Room with a View (1908), based partly on the material from extended holidays in Italy with his mother. Howards End (1910) was a story that centred on an English country house and dealt with the clash between two families, one interested in art and literature, the other only in business. Maurice was revised several times during his life, and finally published posthumously in 1971.
