Maurice Hall is a young man who grows up confident in his privileged status and well aware of his role in society.

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.

The Machine Stops, The Celestial Omnibus, and Other Stories is a collection of short stories from E. M. Forster, who is perhaps best known for his novels Howards End and A Room with a View. Included in the collection is The Machine Stops, a science fiction story that predicted the internet, video conferencing, and instant messaging. Forster, who deplored science fiction, wrote the story in response to an optimistic depiction of the future by H. G. Wells. The story is one of the earliest examples of dystopian science fiction. Also included is The Story of a Panic, the first story Forster ever wrote.
