Foreshadowing[edit]

which could be seen as a symbolic foreshadowing of the eventual condemnation of reparative therapy by most major psychiatric associations in the late 1980s and 1990's - I've taken this line out. It's speculative and it the failed psychotherapy be could only be seen as foreshadowing if we assume Foster had some psychic sixth sense as to what would happen 80 years later.

Introduction - original research[edit]

The second paragraph of the introduction:

The novel is remarkable for its time in describing same-sex love in a fulfillingly romantic but also funny way. Forster resisted publication because of public and legal attitudes to homosexuality — a note found on the manuscript read: "Publishable, but worth it?". However, by the time he died, British attitudes and law had changed. One thing that sets Maurice apart from modern gay fiction is the archetypal storyline and three principal characters, who represent different classes and forms of masculinity.

...which is part unsourced material, part original research, and frankly sounds like a high school English essay. I'm going to change it to something more suitable (and sourced). Graymornings (talk) 21:35, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well good -- the essays they write in *high school* English are still legible. English is maybe one of the few subjects where quality declines as study advances... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.231.34.169 (talk) 21:10, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Publication date[edit]

Could we be more precise about the initial date of publication—now, on the fiftieth anniversary of that publication? Antinoos69 (talk) 05:02, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
