Maurice

E. M. Forster’s "Maurice" is a pioneering novel of gay love set in early 20th-century Edwardian England. Written between 1913 and 1914 but published posthumously in 1971, it tells the story of Maurice Hall's journey of self-discovery and his relationships with other men, beginning at the University of Cambridge. Forster deliberately crafted a narrative with a happy ending for its gay protagonists, a bold and radical choice for its time, challenging societal norms and literary conventions.
