The correspondence between E. M. Forster and Christopher Isherwood
is a fascinating record of the professional and personal lives of
two major British writers from the 1930s to the 1960s. The letters
of the 1930s reveal how Forster and Isherwood each came to grips
with the rise of fascism in Europe and threat of war as both
writers and simply human beings caught in the midst of a world on
the brink of disaster. These letters also tell two parallel but
very different stories of love and devotion between each writer and
his respective male partner. The correspondence during the war
years juxtapose the strikingly different worlds in which Forster
and Isherwood were living: the London area during the Blitz and the
southern California community of exiled writers, respectively. In
the post-war letters the two friends continue their ongoing
conversation to find a suitable ending for Forster's groundbreaking
but yet unpublished novel, "Maurice," This complete collection of
very readable letters, thoroughly annotated and with an informative
introduction, will be of great interest for literary scholars and
general readers.
