FORSTER E M MAURICE

A founding work of modern gay literature in a beautiful new hardcover edition  stunningly
illustrated by Luke Edward Hall. Maurice Hall grows up confident in his privileged status and
well aware of his role in society. Modest and generally conformist  he nevertheless finds
himself increasingly attracted to men. Through Clive  whom he encounters at Cambridge  and
through Alec  the gamekeeper on Clive's country estate  Maurice gradually experiences a
profound emotional and sexual awakening. > A tale of passion  bravery and defiance  this
intensely personal novel was completed in 1914  but remained unpublished until after Forster's
death in 1970. Compellingly honest and beautifully written  it offers a powerful condemnation
of the repressive attitudes of British society  and is at once an intimate tale of one man's
erotic and political self-discovery and a moving love story.
