Aspects of the Novel

First published in 1927, Aspects of the Novel by E. M. Forster remains one of the most influential works of literary criticism in the English language. Based on a series of lectures delivered at Cambridge University, Forster explores the essential elements that define the novel — story, people, plot, fantasy, prophecy, pattern, and rhythm.

With wit, clarity, and intellectual warmth, Forster examines the craft of novelists from Jane Austen and Charles Dickens to Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, offering insights into what makes fiction come alive on the page. His timeless reflections challenge rigid forms of analysis, inviting readers and writers alike to approach the novel as both an art and an exploration of human experience.

This classic guide to understanding fiction is as engaging today as when it was first delivered, a must-listen for students of literature, aspiring writers, and lovers of storytelling.
