NOTE
This booklet was published originally in 1950 and reprinted, in a slightly revised form, in 1954. A further printing having become necessary in i960, it was felt appropriate to bring the whole essay up to date. Mr. Warner was unable to spare the time to undertake the considerable revision which appeared to be desirable and I was therefore asked to do it. Most of the critical material dealing with the five novels was left as Mr. Warner wrote it except that I expanded it somewhat and indicated the changes in critical attitude towards Mr. Forster’s work that had occurred in the meantime. In this reprint I have taken the opportunity to make a few further changes and to bring the bibliography up to date.
