إدوارد مورغان فورستر (بالإنجليزية: Edward Morgan Forster) روائي وقاص وكاتب مقالات بريطاني ولد في لندن 1 يناير 1879 وتوفي في 7 يوليو 1970. تُظهر رواياته اهتمامه بالعلاقات الشخصية والعقبات الاجتماعية والنفسية والعرقية التي تقف في طريق مثل هذه العلاقات. تركز رواياته على أهمية اتباع الدوافع الكريمة أو الفطرة السليمة.
رواياته

أكثر روايات فورستر التي نالت التقدير هي ونهاية آل هوارد 1910؛ رحلة إلى الهند 1924. ونهاية آل هوارد، قصة اجتماعية كوميدية ذات مضمون مأساوي تحكي عن شخصيات إنجليزية من الطبقة الوسطى. تعكس الرواية مفهوم فورستر المثالي عن الأرستقراطية الرقيقة المشاعر، والمراعية لحقوق الآخرين، والشجاعة المقدامة. أما رواية رحلة إلى الهند فتصف الصراع بين الثقافتين الإنجليزية والهندية. كتب فورستر أربع روايات أخرى هي: عندما تخاف الملائكة أن تطأ 1905, أطول رحلة 1907, غرفة ذات إطلالة 1908, موريس التي أُكملت عام 1914، ونُشرت عام 1971، أي بعد أن توفي الكاتب.
في السنوات الـ 46 الأخيرة من حياته، لم يكتب فورستر سوى القصص الواقعية. إلا أنه كتب مقالات وتراجم ونقدًا أدبيًا بأسلوب رائع ممتاز وبنفس الجمال والكياسة والأناقة التي تميزت بها رواياته

Edward Morgan Forster OM, CH (1 January 1879 – 7 June 1970), was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster's humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: "Only connect".


Forster was born into an Anglo-Irish and Welsh middle-class family at 6 Melcombe Place, Dorset Square, London NW1, in a building that no longer exists. He was the only child of Edward Morgan Llewellyn Forster, an architect, and Alice Clara "Lily" (née Whichelo). His name was officially registered as Henry Morgan Forster, but at his baptism he was accidentally named Edward Morgan Forster.[1] To distinguish him from his father, he was always called Morgan thereafter. His father died of consumption on 30 October 1880, before Morgan's 2nd birthday.

Forster was a humanist, homosexual, lifelong bachelor.[9] Forster developed a long-term loving relationship with Bob Buckingham, a married policeman (his wife's name was May),[10] and included the couple in his circle, which also included the writer and arts editor of The Listener, J.R. Ackerley, the psychologist W.J.H. Sprott, and, for a time, the composer Benjamin Britten. Other writers with whom Forster associated included the poet Siegfried Sassoon and the Belfast-based novelist Forrest Reid.
From 1925 until Forster's mother's death at age 90 on 11 March 1945, he lived with her at West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, finally leaving on or around 23 September 1946.[11] His London base was 26 Brunswick Square from 1930 to 1939, after which he rented 9 Arlington Park Mansions in Chiswick until at least 1961.[

Forster was elected an honorary fellow of King's College, Cambridge in January 1946,[12] and lived for the most part in the college, doing relatively little. He declined a knighthood in 1949 and was made a Companion of Honour in 1953.[12] In 1969 he was made a member of the Order of Merit. Forster died of a stroke[14] in Coventry on 7 June 1970 at the age of 91, at the home of the Buckinghams.[
