The Radical Tenderness of E.M. Forster’s Maurice For decades, the manuscript of Maurice sat in a drawer, hidden from the public eye. E.M. Forster, the celebrated author of A Room with a View and Howards End , knew that publishing a novel about a "happy" homosexual relationship in early 20th-century England would be professional suicide—and potentially a criminal risk.
