Reviews

Thanks to the success of the recent film version of his Howards End, Forster is experiencing a resurgence of popularity. Furbank's 1978 two-volume portrait, which is here combined into one, is generally considered the definitive biography. As LJ's reviewer stated, Furbank's "chief virtue as a biographer lies in his thoroughness, clarity, and attention to detail" (LJ 9/15/78).
