E.M. Foster (1879-1970)
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."

¶ Two cheers for democracy: one because it admit variety and two because it permits criticism. Two cheers are quite enough: There is no occasion to give three.
