This month we’re reading Maurice, E.M. Forster’s quietly radical novel about love, class, and the courage it takes to live honestly in a world that demands you don’t. Written in 1913 to 1914 but kept locked away until after Forster’s death in 1970 (he didn’t think England was ready for a novel with a happy gay ending, and for a long time, he was right), Maurice follows its title character from the repression of an English public school education through to a love that costs him everything he’s been taught to want. It’s tender, frustrated, hopeful, and a fascinating read knowing what it cost Forster to write it and not publish it.
