«Aspects of the Novel» is E. M. Forster's essay on literary criticism, published by Penguin in paperback (176 pages, in English).
A work of literary criticism born from the Clark Lectures that Forster delivered at Cambridge. In it, he analyses the essential elements of narrative —story, people, plot, fantasy, rhythm— and comments on works of English, French and Russian literature with an accessible, ironic approach far from academicism.
Originally published in 1927, this edition is part of Penguin's Pelican collection.
Suitable for literature students, writers and any reader interested in the theory and criticism of the novel.
Edward Morgan Forster was an English author. He is best known for his novels, particularly A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). He also wrote numerous short stories, essays, speeches and broadcasts, as well as biographies and pageant plays. His short story "The Machine Stops" (1909) is often viewed as the beginning of technological dystopian fiction. He also co-authored the libretto to Benjamin Britten's opera Billy Budd (1951). Many of his novels examine class differences and hypocrisy. His views as a humanist are at the heart of his work.
