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Although its homosexual content was the reason why Forster decided that the novel, completed in 1914, should remain unpublished until his death, Maurice cannot be defined by its purpose nor by its theme.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 The appearance of a complete but hitherto unpublished novel is therefor a literary event of the greatest importance.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
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...
评分创作是对自我的一种确认。这话用在爱•摩•福斯特的小说《莫瑞斯》上或许非常合适。作为一名同性恋者，福斯特已经厌倦了仅在男女相爱的范畴里写他的小说，他需要一个刺激，更确切地说是一次袒露，来认证他对于“先天性同性爱”这一概念的理解。 虽然福斯特在小说后记中竭...

Forster去世后才敢出版的gay novel。在图书馆里借到了初版，观感非常好。

评分终有一死的凡人的爱
评分好棒 宗教和对感情的理解讨论很细致 一本满足。|看到100/240感觉差不多到一半跑去温习电影pt2 一上来就是Anne说你是8thClive的朋友 噩耗…|书和电影从中盘附近开始有几个关键地方描写非常不一样 Clive和Maurice背道的契机/Alec的信和之后两人的meet&talk 接近结尾觉得两边的版本确实各自适合分别的载体 如果可以对比苹果和橙子 我更喜欢书的版本。导演说的有理电影给了Alec更多的空间 不过书里的只言片语的Alec我也很喜欢。|有机会会再来重看 考虑买书 犹豫买哪一版…←已入。（初稿1914初版1960
评分这几天在读第四遍。初版妙不可言啊。
