520    $a "Surveying the state of literature in the 1930s, E. M. Forster is nostalgic for the relative peace of the Edwardian England of his youth. He paints a picture of the modern world as one without rest, fixity, or security. This characterization of modernity is a common one. Always on the move, ever-expanding, always innovating, the modernist knows no bounds. Forster admits that restlessness gives the modern era its identity, but he frankly finds such a world exhausting"-- $c Provided by publisher.
