First published in 2005. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Focusing on the literary works and career of British novelist E.M.
Forster (1879-1970), this book argues that the writer adapted a
much older literary form, the pastoral, to the purposes of writing
about modern British experience. The publication points out that
Forster's pastoral fiction challenged conventional parameters for
the British novel, allowing for the emergence of his subsequent
modernist classic, A Passage to India (including its critique of
British imperialism). The monograph also provides a rationale for
why Forster subsequently turned his artistic focus beyond Britain,
embracing public radio under the direction of the British
Broadcasting Corporation.
