Edward Morgan Forster, gepubliceerd als E.M. Forster, was een romanschrijver, essayist en korte verhalenverteller, bekend om zijn ironische en meesterlijk geplande romans. Hij onderzocht scherp klasseverschillen en hypocrisie binnen de Britse samenleving van het begin van de 20e eeuw, gedreven door een humanistische impuls tot begrip en sympathie. Zijn werk beeldt vaak het streven naar persoonlijke verbindingen uit ondanks maatschappelijke beperkingen, opvallend door zijn bekwame gebruik van symboliek en de verkenning van relaties tussen verschillende culturen.


From the award-winning author of Shadow Jumper, Bad Hair Days is a touching mystery for older children and young teens.
Maurice is heartbroken over unrequited love, which opened his heart and mind to his own sexual identity. In order to be true to himself, he goes against the grain of society’s often unspoken rules of class, wealth, and politics.Forster understood that his homage to same-sex love, if published when he completed it in 1914, would probably end his career. Thus, Maurice languished in a drawer for fifty-seven years, the author requesting it be published only after his death (along with his stories about homosexuality later collected in The Life to Come).Since its release in 1971, Maurice has been widely read and praised. It has been, and continues to be, adapted for major stage productions, including the 1987 Oscar-nominated film adaptation starring Hugh Grant and James Wilby.
