Based on exclusive access to E.M. Forster's previously restricted diaries at King's College, Cambridge, this biography reveals how deeply his ideas on individual freedom, tolerance, sexuality and love permeated every aspect of his life.

Recenzje

'Wendy Moffat's re-examination of E. M. Forster identifies his homosexuality as being the essence of his creative life. Using unpublished writings, she charts his gradual awakening to the moral, intellectual and emotional significance of his homo-erotic imagination. Her book is an astute and original new portrait of this major novelist.' Michael Holroyd
