FORSTER'S INDIA
"HEN Azziz shouted: ‘India shall be a nation.’ No foreigners of any sort! Hindu and Moslem and Sikh and all shall be one! Hurrah! Hurrah for India! Hurrah! Hurrah!’ "-this quotation, from the last page of A Passage to India (1924) is typical of E. M. Forster’s emphasis on the supreme importance of human relationships, on the necessity for all classes and conditions of men to live together in harmony. And it is the philosophy behind his books (described once as a "semi-pagan humanism’’), rather than his style or any technical feature of his work, that has caused him to be regarded as one of the greatest living novelists. Canterbury listeners will have the opportunity to hear more about Forster and his place in the development of the English novel from 3YA on Sunday, September 21, at 4.15 p.m.
