Review by Choice Review
In a format one assumes to be representative of the "Modern Novelists" series, this volume has a chapter on the author's life, chapters of critical analyses on the author's work, a bibliography of the novelist's work, and, last, a short select bibliography of criticism on the author's work that is more than adequate for undergradutes. Page, who is series editor, sets a high standard for these volumes. Although his discussion does not bring new critical issues to Forster's work, it is intelligent, insightful, and--what is most important, given the intended audience--interesting. Though Frederick P.W. McDowell's E.M. Forster (rev. ed., CH, Jul '82) remains the best of several intended introuctions to Forster's work, Page's work will help students to begin a serious study of Forster's work. Recommended. -W.
