Description
Frank Kermode's lectures on E.M. Forster, delivered at Cambridge in 2007, form the core of this book. In these assessments, Kermode examines the influence and meaning of all of Forster's novels as well as his criticism, reflecting on his musicality and offering a fascinating interpretation of A Passage to India.
The second part of the book takes the form of a series of loosely organized discussions in which Forster is placed in the wider context of his times. Kermode reflects not only on Forster's talent but also on the social and personal circumstances that restricted it, as well as the changes in English society during the first half of the twentieth century.
This book offers a unique portrait of E.M. Forster and a panorama of twentieth-century English letters, shedding light on many great contemporary writers including Joseph Conrad, Henry James, Virginia Woolf, Arnold Bennett, D.H. Lawrence and H.G. Wells.
