It has been a very productive decade, the first of many to come, as we all hope. We look back at ten volumes of one hundred and twenty-two greatly varied arti- cles in linguistics as well as literary and cultural studies, by almost one hundred authors, somewhat surprised by the sheer size of our achievement. However, it is certainly not the end but only the beginning of a new and great adventure as we enter the 2020s. We wanted to celebrate our anniversary with a special issue and discussed several options in the early winter of 2020. As two of the editors are active members of the Inter- national E.M. Forster Society, one of the options was to join the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the death of the novelist and, at the same time, mark the tenth anniversary of the Society. What we had in mind back then was a section dedicated to Forster, a selec- tion of papers, which would act as an addition to the celebrations planned for June 2020 at Cambridge. The pandemic changed these plans. Consequently, we decided to join forces with the IEMFS and dedicate the whole issue to Forster, giving an opportunity to all those who wanted to celebrate the anniversary with a publication. It was an experiment for us as we have never before published an issue dedicated to a single author. It was also a major effort to complete the edition on time but it felt good to invest our time and labour in such an undertaking, which will make us remember 2020 as a year of fruitful work rather than a year of uncertainty and fear. The results of this experiment are now ready to be shared with readers. The volume includes both the works of seasoned and eminent scholars who have studied Forster and his oeuvre for many years, and young academics who have just started their careers. Alto- gether, there are over twenty authors from three continents featured here. We believe that this combination, as well as the variety of discussed topics and applied methodologies, 10 Editors’ Preface makes our issue a valuable work: a representative overview of Forster studies fifty years after his death. The issue includes fifteen papers – divided into the four sections Biography, The Novels, Short Stories, and Encounters with Forster – two conference reports, and four reviews of publications celebrating the anniversary. One of the reports deserves a few more words of an introduction as it is something of a novelty: a report from a conference that did not take place. It is our attempt to commemorate the efforts of the organising committee of the “Re-Orientating E.M. Forster: Texts, Contexts, Receptions” conference. Perhaps one day it will be possible for the conference to happen, perhaps in a different shape and place, yet at the moment we can only invite you to read about that long-planned event, as well as to read those of the included articles which were originally to be presented at Cambridge. This issue of our journal is complete but it is by no means the end of the work for the International E.M. Forster Society. We close this issue with the call for papers for the conference “E.M. Forster – Shaping the Space of Culture”, which will be held on June 7th, 2021, on the 51st anniversary of Forster’s death. As the conference will be held “through the Machine” you are all invited to participate, but please note that there is not much time to submit your proposals. We would like to finish this introduction by expressing our gratitude to all the authors who trusted us with their work.

    The Machine Stops Forster, E. M. Published: 1909 Categorie(s): Fiction, Science Fiction, Short Stories Source: http://gutenberg.org 1 About Forster: Edward Morgan Forster, OM (January 1, 1879 – June 7, 1970), was an English novelist, short story writer, and essayist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examin- ing 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." Forster was gay, but this fact was not made public during his lifetime. His posthum- ously released novel Maurice tells of the coming of age of an explicitly gay male character.

It is lighted neither by window nor by lamp, yet it is filled with a soft radiance. There are no apertures for ventila- tion, yet the air is fresh. There are no musical instruments, and yet, at the moment that my meditation opens, this room is throbbing with melodious sounds.

    Adaptation, Inspiration, Dialogue: E.M. Forster and His Oeuvre in Contemporary Culture

    Adaptation, Inspiration, Dialogue: E.M. Forster and His Oeuvre in Contemporary Culture Krzysztof Fordoński University of Warsaw Abstract The article aims at charting the position of Edward Morgan Forster and his works in contemporary English language culture. It presents various forms of adaptations of or responses to the works of Forster, concentrating on those which have been created since the writer’s death in 1970. The discussed material consists of approximately one hundred instances of various works of art related in a number of ways to Forster’s oeuvre and biography: adaptations, works inspired by Forster’s oeuvre or biography, and, finally, works which enter into a dialogue with Forster and his views. Radio plays, operas, plays, movies, musicals, comic books, concept albums, etc. have been included as well. The paper also touches upon Forster’s reception among scholars and in political journal- ism. The paper is supplemented with lists of various adaptations. Keywords: E.M. Forster, culture, literature, opera, musical, television, film, theatre, adaptation, adaptation studies 12 Krzysztof Fordoński The works of E.M. Forster have played an important role in the English-speaking world and beyond it1 ever since his position was first generally recognised after the publication of Howards End in 1910.2 Forster’s presence was originally felt the most clearly through his literary works, namely novels and short stories. Yet, with the passage of time, he began to exert influence also as a reviewer, an essayist, and a radio broadcaster. Artists – at first fellow novelists but gradually also playwrights, composers, graphic artists, and others – found in Forster’s oeuvre and life a greatly various source of creative inspiration which continues to be fruitful fifty years after the writer’s death.

III © 2008 Kelly Elizabeth Sultzbach IV An Abstract ofthe Dissertation of Kelly Elizabeth Sultzbach for the degree of Doctor ofPhilosophy in the Department ofEnglish to be taken September 2008 Title: EMBODIED MODERNISM: THE FLESH OF THE WORLD IN E.M. FORSTER, VIRGINIA WOOLF, AND W.H. AUDEN Approved: Dr. Louise Westling Modernism's fragmented literary style has been called "an art ofcities." My project challenges such conventional understandings by exposing a strain within modernism that expresses an awareness ofa broader phenomenological world. In the work ofE.M Forster, Virginia Woolf, and W.H. Auden, non-human presences are often registered through a character or speaker's innate sensory perception oftheir surroundings-what I call embodied modernism.
  • Technology and the Fleshly Interface in Forster's “The Machine Stops”

    Technology and the Fleshly Interface in Forster's “The Machine Stops”

    Journal of Ecocriticism 2(1) January 2010 Technology and the Fleshly Interface in Forster’s “The Machine Stops”: An Ecocritical Appraisal of a One-Hundred Year Old Future Alf Seegert (University of Utah)* Abstract As a prescient critique of telepresence technologies like the Internet, “The Machine Stops” satirizes hypermediated contact and in its place valorizes contact made with the fleshly body—so much so, that it fantasizes the removal of all technological mediations between that body and the “real.” This move carries strong ecocritical implications in its suggestion that all authentic connection—whether between people themselves or between people and the earth—must be corporeal. The narrator’s apology on behalf of “beautiful naked man” (122) and his nostalgia for the robust, technology-free body are, however, both problematic. Forster appears to conflate nakedness and fleshly connection with unmediated contact or “full presence,” a view that raises many potential criticisms and questions. If the body proves to be but one kind of mediating interface itself, then on what grounds should the mode of fleshly connection be privileged over interactions mediated by motors, buttons, and video screens? If all contact must be mediated somehow, does it even make sense to consider one type of interface as “more authentic” than another? Is it right to equate nakedness with freedom from technology? In this paper I use an ecocritical perspective to explore such questions in the text, focusing in particular on Forster’s depiction of technology as devastating to both the human body and to the experience of space and place. The timeliness of such concerns suggests that “The Machine Stops” might prove even more significant in the hypermediated world of today than it was a hundred years ago for questioning the relationship between corporeality, representation, and nature.
