E.M. Forster's "Maurice" is a 241-page novel that was groundbreaking for its time, exploring the theme of homosexuality in early 20th-century England. Published by Edward Arnold Publishers in 1971, it's a significant work in LGBTQ literature. This posthumously published novel follows Maurice Hall from his schooldays through university and beyond. Forster was inspired to write it after a visit to the home of the poet, philosopher, socialist, and gay rights activist Edward Carpenter. It was written in 1913-4 and revised in 1932 as well as in 1952-60. Forster was determined that his novel should have a happy ending, but also feared that this would make the book liable to prosecution while male homosexuality remained illegal in the UK, so it remained unpublished until 1971.
