In "Howards End," Forster remarks that the Imperialist "hopes to
inherit the earth" and with the strong temptation he has to acclaim
it "as a superyeoman, who carries his country's virtue overseas."
He then adds: "But the Imperialist is not what he thinks or seems."
He is a destroyer. He prepares the way for cosmopolitanism, and
though his ambitions may be fulfilled the earth that he inherits
will be grey." This simple notion is masterly expressed in "A
Passage to India," which provides a rich diversity of historical
contexts and implies political imperatives urging us to rethink the
complex relationship between East and West not as simple
confrontation but rather as deeply rooted in cultural differences
far beyond the realm of imperialist sensibility. With the support
of material by Forster published here for the first time, this
volume explores the realm of Forster's politics and
imperialism.
