具体描述
Maurice describes the long and difficult process by a typical product of middle-class suburbia and education realizes that he is a homosexual. It culminates in an ecstatic love affair by which Maurice both fulfills his nature and, in the compelling series of episodes by which the book closes, rejects his entire inherited system of values and conduct. In this combination - of fulfillment and its inevitable concomitant, rejection - lie the author's reasons and inspiration for writing the novel. Forster wished at once to demonstrate the possibility of love outside normal experience and to expose the rigid structure and morality of a society that did not merely condemn such experience as immoral, but in a more insidious way, regarded it as unnatural.
Although its homosexual content was the reason why Forster decided that the novel, completed in 1914, should remain unpublished until his death, Maurice cannot be defined by its purpose nor by its theme. It was written by a great novelist at the height of his powers - as those who read it surely find evident.

作者简介
E. M. Forster's reputation as one of the finest writers of the twentieth century is based on an output which is both modest in size and remote in time: his last novel, A Passage to India, was published in 1924. The appearance of a complete but hitherto unpublished novel is therefor a literary event of the greatest importance.

读后感
当三十年后的E•M•福斯特在书中借作品人物莫瑞斯之口说出那句“我得了王尔德那种不可言说的病”时，这两位无论在思想倾向、美学追求和写作风格上都迥然相异的作家终于在一个层面上达到了共鸣，三十年前审判台上的王尔德那段缓慢而铿锵的辩驳也终于在多年以后有了这样一个...
评分在我的印象中《Maurice》的文本很平淡，绝没有James Ivory改编的电影来得吸引人。 最大的原因是在James Ivory一向唯美的电影画面下EM Forster（Ｅ.Ｍ. 福斯特1879-1970）的文字显得过于平实，没有过多的形容词，没有俏皮的对话，也没有旁征博引，所以在知道故事情节后再读小说...
评分看来我总是看些冷门书籍啊，每次我兴致勃勃地到豆瓣搜索出我看过的书，想看看评论，就发现自己又一次站在了社会边缘。 《莫瑞斯》这本书说是关于同性恋的，但作者的文化程度恐怕太高，将书写得带了些哲思，主题到最后升华到打破阶层对立的高度。 看的感觉跟当年看《麦田守望者...
评分看得见风景，找不到房间 纪念英国作家E·M·福斯特逝世四十周年 转自文学报10.03.04 文：余扬 1924年，E·M·福斯特发表了一生的杰作《印度之行》，在此后近五十年的漫长时间里，他再也不曾涉足小说创作。是宿命，还是偶然？福斯特的“沉默”成了一个令人费解的谜，引发人...
评分有时候真觉得有些前言、后记真不如不读，常会有坏人胃口的事情发生。最记得以前读文洁若翻译的《莫瑞斯》，书后附了萧乾的一篇文字《唉，同性恋》。说来E·M·福斯特的《莫瑞斯》是直到作者去世后才出版的，萧乾当年与福斯特私交甚好，他是早早就读了这书的手稿的。我以为既是...
