The Prince's Tale and Other Uncollected Writings
by E.M. Forster, edited by P.N. Furbank
London: André Deutsch, 344 pp., £25.00
This belated volume of E.M. Forster's critical writings and opinions is at least the equal of Aspects of the Novel (1927), Abinger Harvest (1936), and Two Cheers for Democracy (1951), as well as far more amusing than these predecessors. The quality of the writing—compact, graceful, unobtrusively witty—is consistently of the highest. One only wonders how such bijoux can have remained scattered and unknown for so long.
