| 1 | E. M. (Edward Morgan) Forster [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever OM]] (1879–1970) was an English writer best known for his critical views of the established class system. He was named Henry at birth, but a mistake at his baptism led to him being given his father's name, Edward, instead. As a result, he was generally called Morgan. His six published novels have all been adapted for film. He also wrote a number of short stories, a couple of plays, a couple of biographies, a film script, numerous essays, and the libretto for Benjamin Britten's adaption of Creator/HermanMelville's ''Theatre/BillyBudd''. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature sixteen different times. |

| 3 | His most successful novel during his lifetime was his last, ''Literature/APassageToIndia'' (1924). His most popular today is probably the relatively light-hearted ''Literature/ARoomWithAView''. His novel ''Literature/{{Maurice}}'', written in the mid-1910s, wasn't published until after his death, for it was a homosexual love story, and Forster's own homosexuality was still illegal in the UK for most of his life. |
