Maurice describes the long and difficult process by a typical product of middle-class suburbia and education realizes that he is a homosexual. It culminates in an ecstatic love affair by which Maurice both fulfills his nature and, in the compelling series of episodes by which the book closes, rejects his entire inherited system of values and conduct. In this combination - of fulfillment and its inevitable concomitant, rejection - lie the author's reasons and inspiration for writing the novel. Forster wished at once to demonstrate the possibility of love outside normal experience and to expose the rigid structure and morality of a society that did not merely condemn such experience as immoral, but in a more insidious way, regarded it as unnatural.
Although its homosexual content was the reason why Forster decided that the novel, completed in 1914, should remain unpublished until his death, Maurice cannot be defined by its purpose nor by its theme. It was written by a great novelist at the height of his powers - as those who read it surely find evident.

Introduction by P. N. Furbank
E. M. Forster's reputation as one of the finest writers of the twentieth century is based on an output which is both modest in size and remote in time: his last novel, A Passage to India, was published in 1924. The appearance of a complete but hitherto unpublished novel is therefor a literary event of the greatest importance.

评分Forster去世后才敢出版的gay novel。在图书馆里借到了初版,观感非常好。
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 评分爱情的种子到底从何处产生?又是怎么样播撒进恋人的心田?收获的人又须以何种方式来收割才能获得幸福?是英国著名小说家爱•摩•福斯特用小说来触及这些问题。读过他小说的人可能不多,但是看过从他的小说改编的电影的人可能就多了,比如《看得见风景的房间》、《霍华德庄...
评分看得见风景,找不到房间 纪念英国作家E·M·福斯特逝世四十周年 转自文学报10.03.04 文:余扬 1924年,E·M·福斯特发表了一生的杰作《印度之行》,在此后近五十年的漫长时间里,他再也不曾涉足小说创作。是宿命,还是偶然?福斯特的“沉默”成了一个令人费解的谜,引发人...
评分创作是对自我的一种确认。这话用在爱•摩•福斯特的小说《莫瑞斯》上或许非常合适。作为一名同性恋者,福斯特已经厌倦了仅在男女相爱的范畴里写他的小说,他需要一个刺激,更确切地说是一次袒露,来认证他对于“先天性同性爱”这一概念的理解。 虽然福斯特在小说后记中竭...
