Summary Buy two companion hardbacks of coming of age novels by E. M Forster from our YA Classics collection, illustrated by Luke Edward Hall. Exclusive to Faber. RRP value £33.98. Maurice is widely considered a founding work of modern gay literature. A tale of passion, bravery and defiance, this intensely personal novel was completed in 1914, but remained unpublished until after Forster’s death in 1970. Compellingly honest and beautifully written, it offers a powerful condemnation of the repressive attitudes of British society, and is at once an intimate tale of one man’s erotic and political self-discovery and a moving love story – with, what is key, an uplifting ending. A Room with a View is both a love song to Italy and a criticism of class and patriarchy in England at the time, all woven through a tumultuous love story. This is the more obviously fictional love story that was published to critical acclaim during Forster’s lifetime – while Maurice was locked away until the more autobiographical love story was permitted to see the light of day.
