A Room with a View: Classroom Edition:
This Classroom Edition of Forster's classic novel contains questions for discussion to help students with reading comprehension, critical thinking, cultural understanding, and a close reading of the text.

"Forster's innovation remains: he allowed the English comic novel the possibility of a spiritual and bodily life, not simply to exist as an exquisitely worked game of social ethics but as a messy human concoction. He expanded the comic novel's ethical space (while unbalancing its moral certainties) simply by letting more of life in . Austen asks for toleration from her readers. Forster demands something far stickier, more shameful: love." - Zadie Smith

About the Author

About The Author
Edward Morgan Forster’s most homosexual works are the two published posthumously, his novel Maurice, written in 1913 but not published until 1971, and a collection of short stories titled The Life to Come. Forster’s other works were published as he wrote them. None contained overtly homosexual themes, although what readers would now refer to as a “gay sensibility” is present in all. Forster was a prolific writer in his youth but ceased to write at age forty-five.

Forster never married and was well-known among his friends to be homosexual. However, he remained celibate until the age of thirty-eight when he visited Egypt and had sex with a wounded soldier he met on the beach. He lived a closeted life, but eventually enjoyed a loving relationship with a married policeman named Bob Buckingham. The two met when Forster was fifty-one, Buckingham twenty-eight, and the relationship lasted forty years. Before meeting Buckingham, Forster had much briefer affairs with another policeman and a bus driver.
