About the Author

E.M. Forster (1879-1970) was an English author of novels, short stories and essays. Several of his works have claim to lasting fame, notably the novels Howard’s End, A Passage to India and A Room With a View. Deeply concerned with human connection and the barriers created to it by class and social mores, Forster’s books were well received in his lifetime and several have gone on to be adapted as celebrated films. One of the most esteemed authors of his generation, Forster never won the Nobel Prize in Literature but was nominated for the honor 16 times.
