The idea
E. M. Forster, a member of the Bloomsbury Group, wrote A Room with a View, Howards End and A Passage to India; Maurice, his novel of homosexual love, was published only after his death. His fiction tests English social conventions and the possibility of human connection.
In practice
Convention, class, connection.
Where people slip
Forster is less experimental than Woolf.
