Links to other sites

Although it may be obvious to some folks, I must say that the following
links lead to external sites; I don't own or run any of them, and just
because I list them below it doesn't necessarily mean that I agree with
what they may have to say. So if you have a question or comment about
one of the sites or pages, please direct your messages to the appropriate
person -- not to me! Thanks. :-)
Biographically-related sites

The Friends
of the Forster Country
This committee is dedicated
to preserving the Hertfordshire countryside in England, where Forster
spent much of his childhood and loved so dearly. Some very prominent
figures (when it comes to Forster) are members (reading the patrons
list elicited a "wow!" from me). If you're interested in
participating in the mission to save Forster's old stomping grounds
-- not to mention a beautiful part of England -- please visit the
site.
Hypertext versions of Forster's novels
-
Howards
End (1910)
Humanities Text Initiative, University of Michigan.
The text is from the 1992
compilation Great Novels of E. M. Forster, published by Caroll &
Graff Publishers. I'm not familiar with it, but as with any hypertextual
literature, the searchable capability (of the browser) is nice.
-
The
Longest Journey (1907)
Humanities Text Initiative, University of Michigan.
(See my notes for the Howards
End link.)
-
A
Room with a View (1908)
Humanities Text Initiative, University of Michigan.
(See my notes for the Howards
End link.)
-
A
Room with a View (Et rom med utsikt)
(Norwegian translation)
Rubio, Alexander G. and Helen Kirkman.
I don't know Norwegian,
so I can't comment on the accuracy of the translation, but I hope
it'll be useful to Norwegians. :-) Mr. Rubio e-mailed me about his
and Ms. Kirkman's Forster translations, and I've included them here.
Each of the texts are on huge single documents.
-
Where
Angels Fear to Tread (1905)
Humanities Text Initiative, University of Michigan.
(See my notes for the Howards
End link.)
-
Where
Angels Fear to Tread (der engler ikke tør trå)
(Norwegian translation)
Rubio, Alexander G. and Helen Kirkman.
(See my notes for the Norwegian
A Room with a View link.)

Essays and other online material about Forster
-
"Connecting
with E. M. Forster"
Perkowitz, Sidney. The American Prospect, no. 26
(May-June 1996): 86-89.
Perkowitz discusses Forster
and today's world of cyber connections, mainly referring to "The
Machine Stops," but also citing Howards End.
-
Aspects of E.
M. Forster
Zimmermann, Heiko.
Zimmermann's site includes
a broader range of material: some familiar links, bio... apparently
the beginnings of a hodgepodge of EMF-related external works.
- A
Passage Through Forster
Cooper, Jaye.
Cooper's site (hosted on
Geocities) is another broadly-encompassing EMF site with some familiar
links. A line or two on the List of Works page over there looks like
it was referenced from the 'Only Connect' site... :-) In any case, there
is a message board (which looks like it's popular for those people wanting
ideas for their papers!).
Film adaptation-related sites
-
Merchant
Ivory Productions (Official Site)
Merchant Ivory Productions.
Finally, the filmmakers
responsible for my all-time favorite film, and more generally, for
setting the standard for period pieces, have a Web site...and it's
a very good start, although the entire site is based on graphics and
providing other multimedia content. If you want a lot of details and
other information, use the Internet
Movie Database. There is also a cool-the-first-time-but-let's-get-the-show-on-the-road
Splash introduction. One Forster-related nit to pick: Howards
End is spelled with the infamous extra apostrophe. Tsk, tsk.
I have written to the webmaster about the mistake.
If you have a page/site of your own or know of one that isn't here,
I'd appreciate it if you'd fill me in. :-)
