Edward Morgan Forster, generally published as E.M. Forster, was an novelist, essayist, and short story writer. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. His humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: "Only connect".

He had five novels published in his lifetime, achieving his greatest success with A Passage to India (1924) which takes as its subject the relationship between East and West, seen through the lens of India in the later days of the British Raj.

Forster's views as a secular humanist are at the heart of his work, which often depicts the pursuit of personal connections in spite of the restrictions of contemporary society. He is noted for his use of symbolism as a technique in his novels, and he has been criticised for his attachment to mysticism. His other works include Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room with a View (1908) and Maurice (1971), his posthumously published novel which tells of the coming of age of an explicitly gay male character.

I only read A Room With a View. I might have given this 3.5 stars if that were a possibility. I enjoyed the characters and story line, but did find it a bit hard to get into. However, once I got into the text, I liked it. I can't imagine being Lucy Honeychurch and having so much put upon me simply because I'm a woman!

Each one of them superb. My favorite is Room With A View, followed by Where Angels Fear To Tread, then Howard's End. No one captures Edwardian society like Forster.

I didn't love any of the three novels, but I'll say I liked Howard's End the best, mostly because of the philosophical discussions among the characters. And now having read the books I do think the film adaptations of Howard's End and A Room With a View have merit. But I've never liked Helena Bonham Carter.

I have rated two of the three books 4 and one a three for an overall rating of 4. I frankly was surprised that I liked Forster. So many of the English authors are boring. Each book looks at the British middle class. Howard's End was my favorite of the three. If you've had enough Hardy or Austen, try Forster. I have reviewed each of the 3 individually. Check the individual books.
