Edward Morgan Forster (1879-1970) wrote six novels - Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910), A Passage to India (1924). Maurice , written in 1914, was published posthumously in 1971. He also published two volumes of short stories; two collections of essays; a critical work (Aspects of the Novel); The Hill of Devi; two biographies; two books about Alexandria; and the libretto for Britten's opera Billy Budd. David Leavitt is the author of several novels and story collections, most recently The Body of Jonah Boyd (2004). With Mark Mitchell, he edited the Penguin US edition of E.M. Forster's Selected Stories, as well as The New Penguin Book of Gay Short Stories. He lives in Gainesville, Florida, where he is Professor of English at the University of Florida.
An astonishingly frank and deeply autobiographical account of homosexual relationships in an era when love between men was not only stigmatised, but also illegal, E.M. Forster's Maurice is edited by P.N. Furbank with an introduction by David Leavitt in Penguin Classics. Maurice Hall is a young man who grows up confident in his privileged status and well aware of his role in society. Modest and generally conformist, he nevertheless finds himself increasingly attracted to his own sex. Through Clive, whom he encounters at Cambridge, and through Alec, the gamekeeper on Clive's country estate, Maurice gradually experiences a profound emotional and sexual awakening. A tale of passion, bravery and defiance, this intensely personal novel was completed in 1914 but remained unpublished until after Forster's death in 1970. Compellingly honest and beautifully written, it offers a powerful condemnation of the repressive attitudes of British society, and is at once a moving love story and an intimate tale of one man's erotic and political self-discovery. In his introduction, David Leavitt explores the significance of the novel in relation to Forster's own life and as a founding work of modern gay literature. This edition reproduces the Abinger text of the novel, and includes new notes, a chronology and further reading. E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was a noted English author and critic and a member of the Bloomsbury group. His first novel, Where Angels Fear To Tread appeared in 1905. The Longest Journey appeared in 1907, followed by A Room With A View (1908), based partly on the material from extended holidays in Italy with his mother. Howards End (1910) was a story that centred on an English country house and dealt with the clash between two families, one interested in art and literature, the other only in business. Maurice was revised several times during his life, and finally published posthumously in 1971. If you enjoyed Maurice, you might like Forster's A Room With a View, also available in Penguin Classics.
(究竟是多么精神分裂我才能撸出这么一篇东西。) A:福斯特文笔让我想到小时候过家家、 B:怎么说? A:萌点就藏在文字里。就像小时候拨开草丛找红色的果子,时不时就会觉得很惊喜,咦,这边有一丛,咦,这边有好几丛。 A:而且,草丛本身也是可爱的。 B:对,他的对话有时候...
评分我很喜欢福斯特的风格,有种非常含蓄,压抑的美感,就算他曾经写过散文分析批评过英国人这种隐忍克制的表达方式,然而他老人家身在此山中,毕竟未能免俗。相比于某些作者洋洋洒洒似乎要从书里溢出的情感,福斯特将他的真心所想用隐喻,用梦境,用象征,用伏笔安排在书的每一处...
评分有时候真觉得有些前言、后记真不如不读,常会有坏人胃口的事情发生。最记得以前读文洁若翻译的《莫瑞斯》,书后附了萧乾的一篇文字《唉,同性恋》。说来E·M·福斯特的《莫瑞斯》是直到作者去世后才出版的,萧乾当年与福斯特私交甚好,他是早早就读了这书的手稿的。我以为既是...
评分“倘若有信仰的话,是否应该成为你本人的肉身与灵魂的一部分呢?你得向我证实你是有信仰的。” 我已经放弃了它。既然你我是法外之徒,我们两个人就可以向整个世界挑战。这才是我全部的、仅存的信仰。而你一手毁灭了它,我知道的,你我本应在废墟上相爱。 《莫瑞斯》,一个关于...
评分同志题材的影视和文学这些年始终方兴未艾。其中很多,我都不甚喜欢。虽然不可否认这些作品或多或少为社会对原本难以启齿的话题提供些许松弛的空间,让普罗大众(或许是俯视的态度,或许是同情的态度,或许是好奇的态度)知道“哦,其实还有这么一个群体。” 《莫瑞斯》是我这...
赶在30周年修复版上映前把原著读了一遍(还真是这封面!)。百年前写成的同志小说,它超前它的时代太多。福斯特就像在讲述身外的故事,遣词造句出人意料的平实。但文字组合在一起后有种荡气回肠的力量,就像被一把楔子在头顶凿出了天光,照见五蕴皆空般的透彻。感动!
评分囫囵吞枣读完了。后半部分比较好读。很个人很浪漫。很多地方,just tell no show。然而爱情故事总是有点闷的,同性恋爱情也不例外。听说电影很好看,有年轻时候的雷探长……

评分与其说是耽美文学,还不如说是中产阶级和英国人的自我觉醒。
评分#Maurice#今天终于读完了。因为鄙人是个文盲,所以是一边看原著一边哪里不认识马上去看文洁若的译本这么生磕下去的。即使这样也感觉到译得太烂了,还不如我这个文盲的水平。读完原著,感觉像走过了三年,爱过一个人又离开一个人。如果不读这本书我可能一辈子也接受不了被Clive抛弃的事实,读了书,明白了Maurice接受Alec,实际上是在救赎一年前的他自己。这是个莫比乌斯环。
