Autorenporträt

English novelist Edward Morgan Forster was born on 1 January 1879 at 6 Melcombe Place, Dorset Square, London. He was the only child of Welsh architect Edward Morgan Llewellyn Forster and Anglo-Irish Alice Clara "Lily" (née Whichelo). Forster tutored Syed Ross Masood, a 17-year-old Indian future Oxford student, in Latin, he fell in love in 1906. Forster worked with the British Red Cross in Alexandria, Egypt, as a Chief Searcher (for missing personnel) during the First World War as a conscientious objector. To his close friends, Forster was open about his homosexuality, but not to the general public. During his participation in the Bloomsbury group in the 1930s and 1940s, Forster came to be associated with the British Humanist Association. In 1946, Forster was chosen to be an honorary fellow at King's College in Cambridge. In 1949, he was offered a knighthood; in 1953, he was appointed a Companion of Honor. At the age of 82, Forster completed his final short tale, Little Imber. At the Buckinghams' house in Coventry, Warwickshire, Forster died from a stroke on June 7, 1970, at the age of 91. His ashes, mixed with Buckingham's, were afterward dispersed in the crematorium's rose garden, close to Warwick University.
