Edward Morgan Forster was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society.

His 1908 novel, A Room with a View, is his most optimistic work, while A Passage to India brought him his greatest success.
