ABSTRACT

Forster (1879–1970), novelist and critic, was associated with the Bloomsbury Group, though he was never one of its central figures. His greatest novel is ‘A Passage to India’ (1924), after which he wrote no more novels. He did, however, continue to publish biographies and collections of his essays. This review was reprinted in one such collection, ‘Two Cheers for Democracy’ (London, 1951), pp. 268–70.
