Product Description
Written during 1913 and 1914, Maurice deals with the then unmentionable subject of homosexuality. More unusual, it concerns a relationship that ends happily.

Summary: Wonderful
Howards End is very good and all, but if you want Forster's heart, seek it here. This book seems not to have been written, but rather *felt* directly onto the page. The reading experience was, for me, likewise emotional: I suffered along with Maurice, my heart leapt with his, and caught in my throat as his heart caught in his throat. A beautiful novel that argues (very persuasively--this is Forster, after all) for the necessity of freedom to life.

Summary: Thank you, EM Forster...
"Howards End" is my favorite book of all time, but the final chapter of "Maurice" contains, perhaps, the most beautiful prose I've ever read. Longing, regret, sorrow, resolve: it's all there.

Summary: Buy the Penguin edition instead
Buy the Penguin edition instead. This copy by W.W. Norton is more expensive and has no explanatory notes. I am very sorry to not have purchased the Penguin edition.

Summary: A Fabulous Book
This passionate and compassionate treatment of an ever-current topic benefits greatly from the keen eye and ear of the towering E.M. Forster. Right up there with Howard's End and A Passage to India; I would recommend it highly to Mr. Forster's fans and those of early 20th century modern British lit in general.

Summary: Good read
How sad that this book couldn't be published during the era it was intended as a commentary on. Nevertheless I enjoyed following poor, stupid Maurice through a tale of ultimately coming to terms with himself. Back then you weren't just gay, you were depraved or ill to have such thoughts or preform such acts, and Maurice's inner turmoil regarding this viewpoint--from a man that seems to understand little but at the same time feels everything keenly--is particularly engaging.
