Edward Morgan Forster (1879-1970) wrote six novels - Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910), A Passage to India (1924). Maurice , written in 1914, was published posthumously in 1971. He also published two volumes of short stories; two collections of essays; a critical work (Aspects of the Novel); The Hill of Devi; two biographies; two books about Alexandria; and the libretto for Britten's opera Billy Budd. David Leavitt is the author of several novels and story collections, most recently The Body of Jonah Boyd (2004). With Mark Mitchell, he edited the Penguin US edition of E.M. Forster's Selected Stories, as well as The New Penguin Book of Gay Short Stories. He lives in Gainesville, Florida, where he is Professor of English at the University of Florida.
An astonishingly frank and deeply autobiographical account of homosexual relationships in an era when love between men was not only stigmatised, but also illegal, E.M. Forster's Maurice is edited by P.N. Furbank with an introduction by David Leavitt in Penguin Classics. Maurice Hall is a young man who grows up confident in his privileged status and well aware of his role in society. Modest and generally conformist, he nevertheless finds himself increasingly attracted to his own sex. Through Clive, whom he encounters at Cambridge, and through Alec, the gamekeeper on Clive's country estate, Maurice gradually experiences a profound emotional and sexual awakening. A tale of passion, bravery and defiance, this intensely personal novel was completed in 1914 but remained unpublished until after Forster's death in 1970. Compellingly honest and beautifully written, it offers a powerful condemnation of the repressive attitudes of British society, and is at once a moving love story and an intimate tale of one man's erotic and political self-discovery. In his introduction, David Leavitt explores the significance of the novel in relation to Forster's own life and as a founding work of modern gay literature. This edition reproduces the Abinger text of the novel, and includes new notes, a chronology and further reading. E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was a noted English author and critic and a member of the Bloomsbury group. His first novel, Where Angels Fear To Tread appeared in 1905. The Longest Journey appeared in 1907, followed by A Room With A View (1908), based partly on the material from extended holidays in Italy with his mother. Howards End (1910) was a story that centred on an English country house and dealt with the clash between two families, one interested in art and literature, the other only in business. Maurice was revised several times during his life, and finally published posthumously in 1971. If you enjoyed Maurice, you might like Forster's A Room With a View, also available in Penguin Classics.
同志题材的影视和文学这些年始终方兴未艾。其中很多,我都不甚喜欢。虽然不可否认这些作品或多或少为社会对原本难以启齿的话题提供些许松弛的空间,让普罗大众(或许是俯视的态度,或许是同情的态度,或许是好奇的态度)知道“哦,其实还有这么一个群体。” 《莫瑞斯》是我这...
评分 评分先看的电影,后看的书。相比之下,书比电影好。 伊沃里的电影虽然拍得美,但节奏不对,该慢的地方没有慢下来,这也是他导演的通病。在电影中,莫瑞斯和克莱夫的性格多少都被弱化了。那时我光顾着花痴威尔比和格兰特这两个帅哥,看过书后,才感觉出电影表达的模糊和匆忙。 书中...
评分小说与电影是多么相像啊!作者的文笔是多么具有画面感啊!因为看过电影,读起书来难免少掉了那份锐利和惊心动魄感,但读至下半本,还是感受到了那种truthful,能诚实地把这个不完美的Maurice塑造出来,以精简但十分生动的事件来串联,最终来到Happiness is the keynote的终点,多么叫人感动!
评分喜欢这种emotionally intense的书 文学性太纯的还是没什么感觉
评分幸亏读到了原著,之前读的中文译本太糟糕,怎么可以那么糟糕!!!
评分与其说是耽美文学,还不如说是中产阶级和英国人的自我觉醒。
评分刚开始好多段落都要反复读才能明白过来,实在不懂还要看中译= = 语法不同,省略多,好多词用的偏义或者古义 总之看得很痛苦……后半段终于习惯了。已然变成作者脑残粉。博物馆那段写的行云流水细腻又不造作不能再美了。以及看完书才明白jw演得多好。
