E. M. Forster

Rex Warner first published his perceptive study of the work of E. M. Forster in this series in 1950. Demand was wide, and revised editions were called for in 1954 and 1960. As Warner was unable to spare the time to undertake the considerable revision to the booklet which appeared to be necessary in 1960 if it were to be kept up to date, Mr John Morris, with the original author's approval, undertook to do this.

Mr Forster's reputation as a novelist and a commentator continues at the eminence it reached many years ago. His work remains a very present influence in the English literary world and in matters affecting the freedom of individual thought and expression everywhere.

Morris who, like E. M. Forster, was at King's College, Cambridge, has left the novelist Rex Warner to speak of Forster's novels, and has honoured an old friendship by discussing the other writings. His own autobiography, Hired to Kill, was published in 1960.
