ⓘ About E.M. Forster
E.M. Forster is a British author of fiction. He was a novelist, short story writer, and essayist. Born in 1879 in London, his full name is Edward Morgan Foster. He is famous for his ironic novels, many of which confronted the difference in the classes in British society in the twentieth century as well as its hypocrisy. Forster is also known for his humanistic tendencies, preferring sympathy and understanding. Forster saw the release of five of his novels in his lifetime, and perhaps his greatest success was the novel A Passage to India, which was released in 1924. The book confronts the subjects of the West and the East’s relationship with one another as seen through the point of view of India and then subsequently the British Raj.
