About E. M. Forster
English author
E. M. Forster was an English author, best known for his novels and for the humane, observant voice that runs through them. He is especially associated with A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India. Forster also wrote short stories, essays, speeches, broadcasts, biographies, and pageant plays. His short story The Machine Stops is often treated as an early example of technological dystopian fiction. Much of his fiction explores class differences, hypocrisy, and the humanist outlook that shaped his writing.
