E. M. Forster

English, 1879–1970

E. M. Forster (1879–1970) was an English novelist whose works examine class difference, hypocrisy, and the difficulty of genuine human connection. His best-known novels — A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India — blend social comedy with deeper themes of personal liberation and cultural conflict. Forster was also an essayist and literary critic, and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature multiple times.
