We follow him through public school and Cambridge, and into his father's firm. In a highly structured society, Maurice is a conventional young man in almost every way--except that he is homosexual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten during 1913 and 1914, immediately after \u003cem\u003eHowards End\u003c\/em\u003e, and not published until 1971, \u003cem\u003eMaurice\u003c\/em\u003e was ahead of its time in its theme and in its affirmation that love between men can be happy. \"Happiness,\" Forster wrote, \"is its keynote....In \u003cem\u003eMaurice\u003c\/em\u003e I tried to create a character who was completely unlike myself or what I supposed myself to be: someone handsome, healthy, bodily attractive, mentally torpid, not a bad businessman and rather a snob. Into this mixture I dropped an ingredient that puzzles him, wakes him up, torments him and finally saves him.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 17, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44067360178310,"sku":"9780393310320","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/3446\/5926\/files\/MdDJ102X389780393310320.webp?v=1781479555","url":"https:\/\/profixdiy.com\/products\/maurice-paperback","provider":"ProFix Home Repair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
