English novelist E.M. Forster wrote his last and best-loved work, A
Passage to India, both as a paean to his love for India and as a
tribute to the relationships he formed with Indians. Forster became
entranced by the India of the Raj at a young ape, and his love
affair with the sub-continent, its princes, and peoples, was to
last all his life. At his most socially transgressive, it was with
Indians that Forster chose to connect and with whom he put into
effect his belief in man's duty to value friendship over state or
ideology. His time in India was undoubtedly when he was at his most
human and most vulnerable. At once a contemporary reflection on
India's rich history and a biographical retelling of Forster's
travels through the country in the early 1900s, Developing the
Heart delves into the past to better understand the profound impact
certain events and people had on his writing. In doing so, it
allows readers to look on as Forster matures and softens over time
in his behaviour with others as well as with himself. Often using
Forster's own words to evoke a vivid landscape, this is the story
of the most dramatic and exotic part of the life of one of
England's greatest novelists.
