A Great Unrecorded History: A New Life of E. M. Forster

A New York Times Book Review Editors Choice. Finalist for the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography. ALA Stonewall Honor Book. Finalist for James Tait Black Memorial Prize. E. M. Forsters homosexuality was the central fact of his life. Between Wildes 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. Seeing Forsters life through the lens of his sexuality Wendy Moffats biography offers us a dramatic new view---revealing his astuteness as a social critic his political bravery and his prophetic vision of gay intimacy. A Great Unrecorded History casts fresh light on one of the most beloved writers of the twentieth century.
