E.M. Forster's Aspects of the Novel is a groundbreaking exploration of the novel as a literary form, first presented as lectures at Cambridge University. This Penguin Classics edition, edited by Oliver Stallybrass, includes a new preface by Frank Kermode. Forster critiques the 'pseudoscholarship' of historical criticism, urging readers to envision great novelists collaborating in a shared space rather than being confined to their respective eras. He delves into elements such as character, plot, fantasy, and rhythm, drawing insightful comparisons among authors like Proust, James, Dickens, Thackeray, Eliot, and Dostoyevsky, highlighting both their commonalities and differences. The work is characterized by Forster's engaging, conversational style, infused with his signature wit and wisdom. Kermode's introduction reflects on how Forster's experiences as a novelist shaped his lectures. This edition also features the original introduction by Stallybrass, a chronology, further reading suggestions, and appendices. Forster (1879-1970), a prominent English author and member of the Bloomsbury group, is known for novels such as Where Angels Fear To Tread, A Room With A View, and Howards End. If you appreciate Aspects of the Novel, you may also enjoy Forster's A Room with a View, available in Penguin Classics.

From the literary icon, author of Howard's End and A Passage to India , comes a posthumous collection of short works, many never before published. Featuring fourteen short stories, The Life to Come spans six decades of E. M. Forster's literary career, tracking every phase of his development. Never having sought publication for most of the stories--only two were published in his lifetime--Forster worried his career would suffer because of their overtly homosexual themes. Instead they were shown to an appreciative circle of friends and fellow writers, including Christopher Isherwood, Siegfried Sassoon, Lytton Strachey, and T. E. Lawrence. With stories that are lively and amusing ("What Does It Matter?"; "The Obelisk"), and others that are more somber and thought-provoking ("Dr Woolacott"; "Arthur Snatchfold"), The Life to Come sheds a light on Forster's powerful but suppressed explorations beyond the strictures of conventional society. "Have we been as ready for Forster's honesty as we thought we were? His greatness surely had root in his capacity to treat all human relationships seriously and truthfully. . . . Even the earliest and most ephemeral of them will be recognized as the frailer embodiments of the same passionate convictions that made for the moral iron of his novels." --Eudora Welty, The New York Times Book Review
