Constructing the Narrative: E.M. Forster’s Critical Vision in Aspects of the Novel
Keywords:
E.M. Forster, novel theory, characterization, narrative structure, prophecy, pattern, rhythmAbstract
Aspects of the Novel, deriving from E.M. Forster’s 1927 lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge, delineates seven essential features he regards as integral to understanding and crafting the English novel. These components—story, people, plot, fantasy, prophecy, pattern, and rhythm—are explored in this essay through fresh vocabulary and organization, retaining the foundational quotations and sources of the original study. Forster’s approach transcends the historical lineage of novel-writing and continues to inform literary theory today.
