Maurice Hall embodies the archetype of the conventional Englishman, but behind his modest and conformist appearance, he harbors a growing desire and attraction towards men. Through Clive, whom he meets at Cambridge, and Alec, the gamekeeper of Clive's estate, Maurice will experience an intense and revealing emotional and sexual awakening. This novel of passion, courage, and defiance condemns the repressive attitudes of British society, narrating an intimate erotic and political discovery. Written by Forster in 1914, it remained unpublished for fear of the consequences on his career, being published posthumously in 1971.
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.
