Opis

Perhaps E.M. Forster's most challenging work, A Passage to India has, since 1924, provoked debate on topics from imperialism to modernism to ethnicity, sexuality and symbolism. This sourcebook introduces not only the novel but the key issues which surround it. The sourcebook offers: a contextual and biographical overview, with a chronology of important dates; contemporary reviews key extracts from Forster's relevant essays, books and articles; a summary of the work's critical history; substantial contemporary essays by important critics of the novel; a consideration of film and television adaptations; and a guide to further reading. This sourcebook should be useful for all students of A Passage to India.
