Synopsis
Written during 1913 and 1914, Maurice deals with the then unmentionable subject of homosexuality. More unusual, it concerns a relationship that ends happily., Set in the elegant Edwardian world of Cambridge undergraduate life, this story by a master novelist introduces us to Maurice Hall when he is fourteen. We follow him through public school and Cambridge, and into his father's firm. In a highly structured society, Maurice is a conventional young man in almost every way--except that he is homosexual. Written during 1913 and 1914, immediately after Howards End , and not published until 1971, Maurice was ahead of its time in its theme and in its affirmation that love between men can be happy. Happiness, Forster wrote, is its keynote....In Maurice I tried to create a character who was completely unlike myself or what I supposed myself to be: someone handsome, healthy, bodily attractive, mentally torpid, not a bad businessman and rather a snob. Into this mixture I dropped an ingredient that puzzles him, wakes him up, torments him and finally saves him., Set in the elegant Edwardian world of Cambridge undergraduate life, this story by a master novelist introduces us to Maurice Hall when he is fourteen.

- l***l (109)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseIt was wrapped so well ,it took 20 minutes to open! Item just as described. Would definitely purchase again from this seller. The only thing that would have been better was sending UPS rather than USPS.
- _***9 (71)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook is in great condition, just as pictured. I also saved $20 by buying it used (was listed as very good, but seems closer to like new). Got here within 2 weeks but may have gotten here faster if the seller had gotten it to the post office sooner (took 8 days). Nonetheless, I would gladly buy from this seller again.
- e***t (1621)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSuper fast shipping and great packaging. Thanks for the awesome value!!! As described. Excellent seller... thank you again.
