A Companion to E.M. Forster Volume 1

Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd.

A great novelist, a learned and wise critic, and a charming short-story writer--can these three reside in a single person? Yes, but, of course, in a very few, and E.M. Forster is certainly one of those very few, and that he is par excellence. 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.  This compendium-like book, split into three Volumes, contains discussions on all the six novels of Forster--Where Angles Fear to Tread, The Longest Journey, A Room with a View, Howards End, Maurice and A Passage to India. Besides, the study includes his twelve prime short stories, and his critical acumen and theories. It does not harbour--no, it carefully avoids--any pretension or pedantry, but it comprises almost all the matters relevant to Forsteriana, plainly but rather expatiatingly treated, so that it is expected to help, yeoman-like, certainly not the avant-garde but the sophomores. An in-depth study of Forster as a novelist and as a critic provided herein adds to the value of the book. Furthermore, Quotations included in the Appendix, Bibliography and Index would serve as useful study-aids for the readers.

A Companion to E.M. Forster (3 Vols. Set)

<p>E.M. Forster's celebrated novel A Passage to India is prescribed in the syllabus of almost all the universities in India, at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is really a complex and difficult novel, and books that can well help the students, in particular, in their having a grip on it are far too few, if not non-existent. With a view to fill this gap and cater to the academic needs of readers, the present book has been written. Briefly outlining the life and works of E.M Forster, it makes an in-depth study of his novel A Passage to India. The key elements of the novel like plot, characterization, fantasy, prophecy, pattern, rhythm, symbols, imagery, mystery, poetry, music, tone, etc., have been analytically discussed. In addition, a character-sketch of prominent characters has been skillfully presented. Further, memorable quotations included in the Appendix will not only acquaint readers with the original text but will also infuse them with enthusiasm for all the works of Forster. Readers of the present book are provided with Bibliography and Index which will definitely prove useful study-aids to them in pursuing the studies further. For students, researchers as well as teachers of English literature, the book is indispensable.</p>
