	E. M. Forster
		Forster famously wrote in his essay "What I Believe" that "if I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend I hope I should have the guts to betray my country."

		Forster was educated as a dayboy at the Tonbridge School, Kent, an experience responsible for a good deal of his later criticism of the English public school system.

	ArtandCulture Artist: E.M. Forster
		Forster himself was a homosexual -- he was firmly entrenched in the Bloomsbury group, where sexuality was as open as the ocean -- but he felt that his reputation as a social critic would be damaged by the novel's release.
		Forster repeatedly pinpointed the contradictions in British politics at home and abroad; he was a gadfly on the nation's side, yet he simultaneously epitomized the liberal ideals of British democracy.
		Forster juxtaposes the artistic heart, with its capacity for spontaneous emotion, against the cold, insensitive heart of the businessman.

	Remembering Mohammed: E. M. Forster, Cavafy, and the Nexus of Memory
		Forster discovered for himself what he had learned already from Cavafy and Proust, that a "factual" account of "real" events was not the best way to recover the past; indeed, that it cannot do so: "[T]he work of art was the sole means of rediscovering Lost Time.
		Both Cavafy and Forster were writers attuned to the ancient history of Alexandria while living in the contemporary city, and their lives there included or had included homosexual love affairs.
		Although Forster was leaving Alexandria, the city and the events that took place there would haunt him in subsequent years, as memory became a central concern.

	E. M. Forster
		Forster's use in Maurice of established religion as representative of the inhibitive middle-class values is not unique to this novel.
		In Howards End Forster had tried to reconcile the outer life of the middle class, which is changing the world, with the cherished life of personal relations by attempting to have a strong representative of the previously despised consciousness realize his own inner life and see life whole.
		Therefore, even while he was writing Maurice, Forster undoubtedly knew it was a digression from his understanding of the real threat to the life of personal relations posed by a society whose values were inimical and which was eliminating the bond with the earth which symbolized the ideal life.

	Barry Miller and his buddy, fugitive Homer W. Forster
		Similarities between Forster and McMurrain don’t exist, that both are men and they may have been in Atlanta at roughly the same time; Atlanta is of sufficient size that nothing beyond mere physical presence should be inferred from the fact that two people were there at the same time.
		According to Walter, she then told him that Dr. Adams was in reality Homer W. Forster, that he was not an attorney as he had claimed, that they were both wanted in the US etceteras.
		It is not entirely clear to me where Forster is at this moment, although it is my understanding that he is being monitored, also because the US authorities want to apprehend his wife too.
