Mythology and symbolism in
E. M. Forster, his rejection of
Freud, the novelist's view of na-
ture, the romance realities and
the hero archtype are analyzed in
a study of the author's works pub-
lished by Wayne State University
Press.
"The Fiction of E. M. Forster"
by George H. Thomson is an evalu-
ative analysis of the romantic
writer who dealt in symbolisms.
Of interest is the author's indi-
cation that Forster could not read
Frued or Jung, that it was under-
standable because: "The emphasis
on sex, the persistent analysis back
to infantile origins, and Freud's
somewhat Jehovah-like attitude to
his patients, all these would be
alien and offensive to Forster."
Literary students will find an
immense amount of challenging
material in the Thomson study of
the eminent romanticist.
