Anthology of Articles


The following list is an anthology of all the various articles to be found on A Passage through Forster. It is designed to be an easy way to find what you want from this site. Most are spread out over different pages depending on their content, I realised that this might be confusing and not show clearly what was here, so I have compiled this anthology.

If you are looking for criticism or essays on particular texts, you may well note there isn?t much here. This is not through lack of trying. I would dearly love to have more of this kind of material available, however it needs to come from somewhere. If you have/are studying Forster or a particular text it is more than likely you have written something original about him or the text. This is what people are looking for. You don?t have to write specifically for the site, although if you do that?s wonderful, and you don?t have to have a PhD in English Literature. All opinions are valid. Please, the more people contribute, the more likely it is that you can find what you are looking for.
