The Longest Journey (1907) is a novel by English author E.M.
Forster. Despite its critical success, the novel was a commercial
failure for Forster, but has since grown in reputation and
readership to help cement his reception as one of twentieth century
England’s most talented writers. Rickie Elliot enters Cambridge
as a young man, exploring his interests in poetry and art and
joining a circle of intellectuals centered around a philosopher
named Stewart Ansell. An orphan, Rickie cherishes his small number
of friends, including Agnes and her brother Herbert, who were his
only companions as a youth. When Agnes’s fiancé dies in a
football match, Rickie steps in to console her, and the two become
engaged. Shortly afterward, a visit to Rickie’s elderly Aunt
leads to his discovery of a stepbrother named Stephen, and the
young scholar is plunged into the past and forced to face his
family’s secret history. While Agnes, now his wife, encourages
him to reject Stephen, Rickie struggles with his feelings and takes
his frustration out on his pupils at the dormitory school where he
has been appointed to teach classics. Cut off from his Cambridge
friends, and growing apart from Agnes, Rickie makes an effort to
connect with Stephen, who has grown to be a troubled young man.
Between literary fame and married life, the bonds of family and
friendship, Rickie’s story of hardship and personal development
poses poignant questions regarding social conventions, infidelity,
and the life of a struggling artist. The Longest Journey is a
powerful bildungsroman and the second novel published by English
literary icon E.M. Forster. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E.M. Forster’s
The Longest Journey is a classic of English literature reimagined
for modern readers.
