and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society.

Early years

*Forster was born into an

Anglo-Irish and Welsh middle-class family.

He was the only child of Alice Clara

and Edward Morgan Llewellyn Forster, an architect.

*His name was officially registered as Henry Morgan Forster, but at his baptism he was accidentally named Edward Morgan Forster.

*His father died of tuberculosis on 30 October 1880, before Morgan's second birthday.

Education Forster was educated as a

dayboy at the Tonbridge School,

Kent, an experience responsible

for a good deal of his later

criticism of the English public

school system.

*He then attended King's College, Cambridge, which greatly broadened his intellectual interests and provided him with his first exposure to Mediterranean culture, which counterbalanced the more rigid English culture in which he was raised.

*After leaving university, he travelled in continental Europe with his mother.

*He became a writer shortly after graduating from King's College.His first novels were products of that particular time stories about the changing social conditions during the decline of Victorianism.

In the First World War, as a conscientious objector, Forster volunteered for the International Red Cross, and served in Alexandria, Egypt.Forster spent three wartime years in Alexandria doing civilian work and visited India twice.After returning to London from India, he completed his last novel, A Passage to India (1924).

He wrote A Passage to India (1924). The novel examines the British colonial occupation of India, but rather than developing a political focus, explores the friendship between an Indian doctor and British schoolmaster during a trial against the doctor, based

on a false charge.

A Passage to India is the last novel Forster published during his lifetime, but two other works remained.

*He continued to write short stories and essays until his death in 1970
