About the author
Born Edward Morgan Forster in London on January 1, 1879, he became one of the most admired English novelists of the early 20th century. He studied at King's College, Cambridge, and went on to write a body of work that combined social observation with emotional depth.
His most famous novels include A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910), and A Passage to India (1924). He also wrote short stories, essays, broadcasts, and criticism, and his story The Machine Stops has remained especially notable for its strikingly early vision of a technology-shaped future.
Forster died on June 7, 1970. His writing still feels fresh because it asks large, lasting questions about friendship, love, prejudice, freedom, and what it really means to "only connect."
