- Edward Morgan Forster OM CH (1 January 1879 - 7 June 1970) was an English fiction writer, essayist and librettist. Many of his novels examine class difference and hypocrisy, including A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). The last brought him his greatest success. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 16 separate years.

Thank you for producing this. It helping me come to terms with my husband's homosexuality. We married when we were young. It's like he thought if he married a woman and had children the gay would go away. I didn't know he was gay for many years. I didn't think I was marrying a gay man. So sad.
So glad you posted this. Admired Forster as a writer, now, because of this documentary, I appreciate him as the man and intellectual force that he was. Thank you kindly.
An extraordinary man, extraordinary life. Worth bearing in mind that many gay people in many countries still live with the same constraints that hampered Forster as a public voice. I would have liked to see reference to his time as secretary to the Maharajah of Dewas, described in his book, The Hill of Devi.
...upset by American Foreign Policy, he was. My God he is correct.
The film(s) breakthrough in the 80's was a milestone supporting the gay movement. I feel such empathy for this man who was obviously terribly lonely and yet his words are extraordinary. He was very brave.
"Tolerance, good temper, sympathy," E.E. Cummings. All of his literary works, novels, essays, short stories, letters, are a journey into a soul of one of our extradinary writers.I would have loved enormously to have read his diaries. Curiously, I have known him intimately with his marvelous words. Thank you for this documentary 🙏 ❤️
So many of you may not have noticed, but the people narrating this documentary have been in a film that was by E.M Forster and directed by James Ivory and Ishmail Merchant. I can hear James Wilby doing a lot of narrating in this who played the character 'Maurice' in the film and a few other actors as well.
The Christopher Isherwood interview captures the surprising and unexpected element in E. M. Forster's life he was not self pitying shamed suicidal or even depressed he was for the most part content with his life, friends, adopted family and his work.
A Passage to India is the only book Ive read and when I'd finished it, I immediately read it again. It contains the kind of riches that satisfy my heart completely.
You know what bothers me. It is putting too much emphasis on his sex life and not enough on his writings and stories
What a wonderful documentary about an extraordinary man and writer.
Just excellent. He's my favourite author in modernist English literature, a brilliant and gentle mind.
Lovely, enriching documentary. As a gay man of 70, Forster's journey rings powerfully true for me. I must thank the Ismael/Merchant and Lean films for introducing me to his brilliant prose. How lucky we are for all these brilliant minds.
One of the very best documentaries of one of the very best writers in the English language. His sensitivity has no equal, which is so beautifully portrayed
Beautifully done. You get a real sense of the man as a moral force in writing and as a person.
I read that Forester couldn't find a publisher for "Maurice" because he refused to give the book a "sad ending" featuring either the separation and/or suicide of one of the gay lovers. The book wasn't published until after his death and when it was "OK' to have a "happy ending" in which the gay couple live "happily ever after."
Oof the bit abt May made me cry
THANK YOU for these. I’ve spent this entire rainy day watching them and finding out about so many of my favorite authors.
I haven’t really found many good videos about the life of Forster and when I discovered this, I was instantly HOOKED. I am now left believing that he is one of the most genuine and ‘human’ authors out there. He’s clearly struggling during his lifetime with a lot of confusion-And yet, it seems that he had still manage to pass away with a lot solace within his soul. I’m very proud of him. Just bought ‘A Room With A View’ and am definitely planning to buy more of his books and hopefully even make a collection out of it.
Thank you for this mindful documentary. Beautifully crafted and all involved sensitive and deeply appreciative of Forster’s writing and nature. Visually so satisfying too.🌹🌹🌹👌🏽💛🙏🏽
