Ebook: Maurice

Exploring love, loss, and desire in Merchant Ivory’s passionate adaptation of E.M. Forster’s classic novel.

Maurice (1987), a British film based on the novel by E.M. Forster, follows an Edwardian man’s journey to self-acceptance as someone who loves and desires men. Rebutting its critical reception, this volume champions the film as a sympathetic adaptation, making a case for its underappreciated positive depiction of gay love.
