M. Forster—E. M. Forster and the World” orga- nised by the International E. M. Forster Society. Scholars from ten countries and from three continents gathered together in order to evaluate the presence and legacy of Forster in English literature and social history. The double title of the conference was meant to reflect the duality of our aims—on the one hand, we were interested in Forster’s own works, with a special stress on the less often approached texts. On the other hand, however, we intended to enquire as to the position of Forster, his works, and the values he stood for within British and world culture(s) almost half a century after his demise. We were interested in all possible aspects of Forster’s oeuvre and life, as perceived by various theories, methodologies, and schools, and we must admit that we were astounded by the variety of response. The presented papers dealt with Forster’s life and works, as well as with those of his con- temporaries. They gave us an insight into Forsterian influences in the works of our own contemporaries, such as Alan Hollinghurst and Zadie Smith. They showed Forster’s legacy going over the borders of literature, visible in films, plays, musicals, and operas based on his works.
