E.M. Forster
(1879 - 1970)
Between 1903 and 1910, in his twenties and early thirties, E.M. Forster wrote four of the five novels he published in his ninety-one-year lifetime, among them A Room with a View and Howards End. His two trips to India in 1912 and 1921 inspired his fifth novel, A Passage to India, published in 1924, after which time he dedicated himself to essays on literature and politics as well as biographies.
