Editorial Reviews

Forster shines through Furbank's narrative as a gentle and courageous man. He has received the biography that he and his work deserved, one that is just as decent, civil and humane as its subject. -- Time

Paul Gray

Furbank shows us that Forster's own life was far more striking than that of any of his early characters. It is that very rare story of a heroic inner life. -- Saturday Review

Derwent May

One of the best biographies of a writer I've ever read. -- Newsweek
