«Aspects of the Novel» is E. M. Forster's essay on literary criticism, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (208 pages, in English).
Born from the lectures E. M. Forster gave at Cambridge, this essay studies the novel without following a chronological order. It examines the elements common to novels in the English language: story, people, plot, fantasy, prophecy, pattern and rhythm, with a humanist and reader-friendly approach.
The work was originally published in 1927. This Penguin Classics edition, based on Oliver Stallybrass's revision, includes additional writings by Forster.
For readers interested in literary criticism and novel theory, as well as for students and writers who want to understand the mechanisms of fiction.
Edward Morgan Forster was an English author. He is best known for his novels, particularly A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). He also wrote numerous short stories, essays, speeches and broadcasts, as well as biographies and pageant plays. His short story "The Machine Stops" (1909) is often viewed as the beginning of technological dystopian fiction. He also co-authored the libretto to Benjamin Britten's opera Billy Budd (1951). Many of his novels examine class differences and hypocrisy. His views as a humanist are at the heart of his work.
