创作是对自我的一种确认。这话用在爱•摩•福斯特的小说《莫瑞斯》上或许非常合适。作为一名同性恋者,福斯特已经厌倦了仅在男女相爱的范畴里写他的小说,他需要一个刺激,更确切地说是一次袒露,来认证他对于“先天性同性爱”这一概念的理解。 虽然福斯特在小说后记中竭...

评分脱稿于1914年的《莫瑞斯》,被E·M·福斯特私藏了五十多年直到作者本人去世后才得以出版,他不指望依靠这本小说来功成名就,就像一场浪漫的亡命之旅,仅献给艰难与原始的爱。 《莫瑞斯》对于福斯特生前的大部分岁月来说是邪恶的,他竟然耗费一本书的长度去称颂同性之爱,这不该...

An astonishingly frank and deeply autobiographical account of homosexual relationships in an era when love between men was not only stigmatised, but also illegal, E.M. Forster's Maurice is edited by P.N. Furbank with an introduction by David Leavitt in Penguin Classics. Maurice Hall is a young man who grows up confident in his privileged status and well aware of his role in society. Modest and generally conformist, he nevertheless finds himself increasingly attracted to his own sex. Through Clive, whom he encounters at Cambridge, and through Alec, the gamekeeper on Clive's country estate, Maurice gradually experiences a profound emotional and sexual awakening. A tale of passion, bravery and defiance, this intensely personal novel was completed in 1914 but remained unpublished until after Forster's death in 1970. Compellingly honest and beautifully written, it offers a powerful condemnation of the repressive attitudes of British society, and is at once a moving love story and an intimate tale of one man's erotic and political self-discovery. In his introduction, David Leavitt explores the significance of the novel in relation to Forster's own life and as a founding work of modern gay literature. This edition reproduces the Abinger text of the novel, and includes new notes, a chronology and further reading. E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was a noted English author and critic and a member of the Bloomsbury group. His first novel, Where Angels Fear To Tread appeared in 1905. The Longest Journey appeared in 1907, followed by A Room With A View (1908), based partly on the material from extended holidays in Italy with his mother. Howards End (1910) was a story that centred on an English country house and dealt with the clash between two families, one interested in art and literature, the other only in business. Maurice was revised several times during his life, and finally published posthumously in 1971. If you enjoyed Maurice, you might like Forster's A Room With a View, also available in Penguin Classics.
重读,还是感动。Forster写得最不克制的一本书。
评分不知不觉Forster的六部长篇只剩一本了。最典型的东西都还在,门第,自我认知,英国社会与英国之外的世界。现在想来,每一本中都有着对convention的叛离。
评分小说与电影是多么相像啊!作者的文笔是多么具有画面感啊!因为看过电影,读起书来难免少掉了那份锐利和惊心动魄感,但读至下半本,还是感受到了那种truthful,能诚实地把这个不完美的Maurice塑造出来,以精简但十分生动的事件来串联,最终来到Happiness is the keynote的终点,多么叫人感动!

评分浪漫的,太浪漫的……也許這就是葉芝所謂的‘pilgrim soul’.
