It includes substantial chapters dedicated to his two major novels, Howards End and A Passage to India, and further chapters focus on A Room With a View and Maurice. Forster's connections with the values of Bloomsbury and the lure of Greece and Italy in his work are assessed, as is his vexed relationship with Modernism. Other essays investigate his role as a literary critic, the status of his work within the genres of the novel and the short story, his treatment of sexuality and his attitude to and representation of women. This was the most comprehensive study of Forster's work to be published for many years, providing an invaluable source of comment on and insight into his writings.

' … a fascinating register of historical fissures and tensions in Forster criticism and will appeal to a wide readership.' The Review of English Studies
'It is an accessible and detailed treatment of the many themes in Forster's work as well as the contradictions and problems which beset him and which can be traced through his writing.' Reference Reviews
