E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster was born in 1879, lost his father before the age of two and was brought up by his mother and aunts, then went to Cambridge, where he belonged to the Apostles circle, before travels in Italy and Greece that fed his first books. He lived forty-six years after the last novel published in his lifetime, writing essays and short stories, co-writing the libretto of an opera by Britten, and living in Cambridge as an honorary fellow of his old college. He had a long relationship with a married policeman, in whose home he died in 1970, aged ninety-one.
