E. M. Forster
E. M. Forster (1879-1970), British novelist. His travels in Italy and India strongly influenced his novels, which explore cultural contrasts. His works include Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905) and A Room With a View (1908), both of which have an Italian set-ting, and Howards End (1910). After completing his masterpiece, A Passage to India (1924), he gave up writing fiction to lecture on literary and political subjects. Aspects of the Novel (1927) is a collection of his lectures. Several of his novels were made into successful films in the 1980s and 1990s.
