He has done what Forster asked his biographer to do: he has told the truth.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoel Annan, TLS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdward Morgan Forster died in 1970 at the age of 91, having achieved a world-wide reputation as an outstanding writer. Though best known for his novels Howards End and A Passage to India are arguably the finest he was also a brilliant critic and essayist and the author of some remarkable short stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForster was born into a mixed family background of Bohemia and prim respect- ability. Indulged, cosseted, dressed up, and shown off by his adored mother Lily, it was not surprising that he found public school life painfully harsh, nor that he should begin to tend towards homosexuality. Cambridge began the emancipation intellectual, artistic, social, and sexual which Forster's experiences abroad, his growing literary reputation, his deep friendships, and his love affairs were later to extend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his closing years Forster invited Furbank, a close friend, to write his bio- graphy. Based on the full range of private diaries, correspondence, and personal remi- niscences, this book is not only the author- ized and definitive 'life' of Forster, but is also likely to achieve recognition as one of the finest biographies of this century. Included in this paperback edition are both volumes of the original hardback edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best Of Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45917484122369,"sku":"32NS7C9A9-Used","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/4299\/0495\/files\/1_3c058411-8f48-4263-ae02-e92f1a68789b.jpg?v=1735538685","url":"https:\/\/bestofusedbooks.com\/products\/e-m-forster-a-life-rare-books","provider":"Best Of Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
