Edward Morgan Forster was born in London in 1879, and died in June 1970. As a novelist, essayist, and short story writer he published under the shortened name of E.M. Forster. Forster is best known for his ironic and wry novels full of thoughtful prose looking at class difference in early 20th-century British society. He shone a light on hypocrisy in the social order, and with his 1910 novel Howards End, he offered a humanistic examination of life. His mindful understanding is summed up in the epigraph to Howards End:
“Only connect”.
