A passage to india by em forster5/8/2023 ![]() Furbank remarked that 'Seven Pillars affected Forster not only as a man but as a writer. ![]() Forster referred to it as a 'masterpiece' and it had affected him strongly. Forster had been simultaneously working on a critical reading of a draft of the 1922 'Oxford' edition of his great friend T. He completed the first seven chapters in 1913 but it would be a further ten years and with much encouragement from friends including, Leonard and Virginia Woolf, that it would be finished. Based on Forster's own experiences in India in 1912, it is a novel of the effects of colonialization and colonial rule. Scarce in any form and a very near fine, bright, exceptionally clean copy. ![]() The pages are unfoxed and are fresh and clean and the binding is very firm. The very scarce original spare paper spine label is to be found at the end of the volume. The paper spine label is a little age-toned but is clean, unrubbed and bright. The boards are very bright and clean with none of the usual wear and tear. ![]() ![]() This copy has very minor creasing and rubbing to the head and tail of the spine, the cloth has remained remarkably unfaded. As with all signed, limited editions, condition is of paramount importance. ![]()
