4.0 out of 5 stars Another look at Forster's India, May 14, 2009

This review is from: The Hill of Devi: And Other Indian Writings (Abinger Edition of E M Forster) (Hardcover)

Readers fascinated with A Passage to India should take a look at this volume on the one hand to seek the roots from which Forster's greatest novels have grown, on the other to enjoy once more his witty observations on the subcontinent in the first quarter of the 20th century.
The main body of this book is known to some readers from the 1953 and later editions. This one, however, offers almost twice as much. The added value is EMF's Indian journal and a selection of texts connected with his two Indian visits before and after the Great War, and his later writings on Indian themes. Not all of them are great literature but they offer a new view of Forster's Indian adventures.
A gem of a book for seasoned Forsterians but also quite a valuable gift for anyone interested in literature. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find so if you chance upon a copy at a decent price, don't wait too long!
