About this title

Synopsis

A REVELATORY LOOK AT THE INTIMATE LIFE OF THE GREAT AUTHOR�AND HOW IT SHAPED HIS MOST BE LOVED WORKS

With the posthumous publication of his long-suppressed novel Maurice in 1970, E. M. Forster came out as a homosexual� though that revelation made barely a ripple in his literary reputation. As Wendy Moffat persuasively argues inA Great Unrecorded History, Forster�s homosexuality was the central fact of his life. Between Wilde�s imprisonment and the Stonewall riots, Forster led a long, strange, and imaginative life as a gay man. He preserved a vast archive of his private life�a history of gay experience he believed would find its audience in a happier time.

A Great Unrecorded History is a biography of the heart. Moffat�s decade of detective work�including first-time interviews with Forster�s friends�has resulted in the first book to integrate Forster�s public and private lives. Seeing his life through the lens of his sexuality offers us a radically new view�revealing his astuteness as a social critic, his political bravery, and his prophetic vision of gay intimacy.A Great Unrecorded History invites us to see Forster� and modern gay history�from a completely new angle.
