  • Abstract the Power of Place in the Fiction of E.M. Forster
    ABSTRACT THE POWER OF PLACE IN THE FICTION OF E.M. FORSTER Ashley Diedrich, M.A. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2014 Brian May, Director By taking a close look at each of E.M. Forster's novels, readers can learn that he, like other authors, appears to be telling the same story over and over again. It is the story of the human desire to connect, even if it means having to adjust that desire to social reality. In each of his novels, he creates characters who struggle through a series of events and complications to reconcile their unique identities with the norms of society, the purpose being to attain significant relationship. But in addition to exploring this theme of authentic connection in the face of countervailing pressures, Forster is also exploring the idea of place and the difference it makes. In all of the novels, place is significant in bringing about different opportunities for connection: Italy in Where Angels Fear to Tread and A Room with a View; pastoral England in The Longest Journey and Howards End; the "greenwood" in Maurice; and India, his most exotic location, in A Passage to India. In this thesis I emphasize the essential element of place in Forster’s characters' quests to develop their hearts and connect.

PLACE, RACE, AND MODERNISM IN THE WORKS OF E. M. FORSTER AND EUDORA WELTY by MARNY BORCHARDT Under the Direction of Randy Malamud ABSTRACT This dissertation examines similarities between the works of E. M. Forster ( A Room with a View , A Passage to India ) and Eudora Welty (“Powerhouse,” Delta Wedding ). This study focuses on three areas: the importance of a sense of place for both writers, their nuanced critiques of ra- cism and other intolerances, and their subtle, yet inherently modernist philosophies and meth- odologies. This dissertation also argues that both writers deserve a prominent place in the mod- ernist literary canon. INDEX WORDS: Eudora Welty, E. M.

  • Surrey in a Room with a View: a Candidate for Scholarly Mediation
    Surrey in A Room with a View: A Candidate for Scholarly Mediation Jason Finch, Åbo Akademi University Like anyone else, E.M. Forster had his own sociocultural formation. More unusually, he wrote fiction which, both during his own lifetime and more recently, has interested readers from backgrounds widely different from his, and which has been found significant for its handling of universal themes. Not only that, but he is taken seriously even by critics who regard the notion of universal themes as mere ideological obfuscation. What makes his ability to engage such a broad range of commentators truly remarkable is that, even when, as in A Passage to India, his fictional setting is at its most exotic and his aspirations at their most universalist, so much of his central inspiration and material clearly derives from his own particular “world”—from the precise historical experience, concerns, values, places, and types of people to which he has become accustomed in his own life. It is hardly far-fetched to see a similarity with Jane Austen. Not that Jane Austen ever set a story in India—or even in Italy. On the contrary, when her characters leave the shores of England they simply disappear from view. But both of them were writers whose fiction reflected a particular, perhaps rather narrow milieu, but who nevertheless came to be seen, by a very heterogeneous readership, as exceptionally significant and worthwhile. But does a reader whose sociocultural formation is very different from Austen’s or Forster’s miss something? To some extent both Austen and Forster describe their stories’ settings quite explicitly, which is obviously helpful.

FORSTER’S A ROOM WITH A VIEW JANE MARY JOSEPH Postgraduate Student, Department of English, Mizoram University, India ABSTRACT Edward Morgan Forster was born in London on January 1, 1879. He was raised by his mother, Alice Clara Whichelo Forster, two paternal aunts and grandmother. His father, an architect by the name of Edmund Morgan, died of consumption in the year 1880. Forster’s childhood was a happy one at Rooksnest, a “large, old, lonely but friendly house” (Edwards 180) in Hertfordshire that his mother rented. In 1890, Forster attended Kent House, a prep school in Eastbourne, but harassment led to his transfer to The Grange. His mother soon moved to Tonbridge in 1893 and Forster became a day boy at Tonbridge School, where he finished prep school. Marianne Thornton, a great-aunt, bequeathed Forster monetary independence. He used some of this money, beginning in 1897, to attend King’s College, Cambridge and learned a great deal from “the informal social and intellectual intercourse of the university” (Edwards 180). However, he achieved an unsatisfactory second-class honors degree. Disappointed by his academic rank, Forster accepted his mother’s plan to travel. In Italy, their stay in a pension at Florence inspired Forster to begin work, in 1902, on the Lucy novel, which eventually Article Original came to be known as A Room with a View. He is best known for five of his novels - Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910), and A Passage to India (1924).

    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.

  • 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.
