Overview and metadata sections
E.M. Forster, British novelist and essayist, was born in London and educated at Tonbridge School and King's College, Cambridge. He was elected to the "Apostles" in 1901 and met members of The Bloomsbury Group - of whom Vita Sackville-West was a member. Forster published his first novel, Where angels fear to tread, in 1905. He is best known for Howard's end (1910) and A passage to India (1924).
Two letters written by E.M. Forster, both to Vita Sackville-West, the first requesting photographs and the second expressing appreciation for photographs of Reynold's Chinese box (a picture), and acknowledging Forster's interest in Oriental artifacts.
Purchased from David J. Holmes, November 16, 1984.
