Maurice

Book • 1971

Edward Morgan Forster

Written in 1913-1914, 'Maurice' follows the life of Maurice Hall, a young man navigating his homosexuality in a society where it was unaccepted.

The novel explores his relationships with Clive Durham and Alec Scudder, contrasting the constraints of upper-class life with the freedom of a cross-class romance.

It was published posthumously in 1971, offering a powerful commentary on societal norms and the pursuit of authentic love.
