«Maurice» is the classic novel by E. M. Forster, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (224 pages, in English).
The narrative centres on Maurice Hall, a young Englishman exploring his sexual identity in the rigid British society of the early twentieth century. Written between 1913 and 1914, the work denounces the repressive attitudes of its era and defends emotional and sexual honesty, suggesting that love between men can be happy.
The work was first published in 1971, after Forster's death. This edition belongs to Penguin's Twentieth Century Classics collection and dates from 25 June 1992.
For readers of English classics and stories about homosexual identity and social repression in early twentieth-century England.
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.
