  <about><![CDATA[Edward Morgan Forster, OM, was an English novelist, short story writer, and essayist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster's humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel &lt;I&gt;Howards End&lt;/I&gt;: &quot;Only connect&quot;.

Forster was gay, but this fact was not widely made public during his lifetime. His posthumously-published novel &lt;I&gt;Maurice&lt;/I&gt; tells of the coming of age of an explicitly gay male character.
