Companion to E.M. Forster

Any knowledge of modern English novel without even an acquaintance with Forster is absurdly incomplete.

All of Forster's six novels, perhaps barring only Maurice, have been and are being printed and re-printed in hundreds of thousands of copies, and all the six but perhaps The Longest Journey have been filmed by worthy directors, such as Lean and Merchant, and the films have received and are receiving high and spontaneous acclamations.

As said, Forster is also an outstanding critic and will go a long way down the history of criticism as much as he will be remembered as a highly fantastic but excellent short-story writer for a long time to come as he is today.
