About this title

Synopsis

The aim of the Abinger Edition is to provide a new, properly edited library of the literary works of E.M. Forster that does justice to his literary genius. Each volume is edited with scrupulous care. The latest in the series is Alexandria, written while Forster was in Egypt during the First World War. Edited by Professor Miriam Allott of the University of Liverpool, this edition collates and compares all the existing editions of the work to provide the definitive version of the text. It also contains the subsequent work by Forster, Pharos and Pharillon.

About the Author

Edward Morgan Forster was one of the most respected literary figures of his age. Among the novels he wrote were A Room with a View, A Passage to India and Maurice. Alexandria was inspired by the time he spent in Egypt during the First World War and was first published in 1922, followed, in 1923, by Pharos and Pharillon. Professor Miriam Allott is one of the country's most respected authorities in the field of English Literature, including, of course, the work of E.M. Forster. She is Professor of English at Liverpool University, the city in which she lives.
