Abstract
Although he lived much of his life at Cambridge, E. M. Forster never held a regular academic post, and although he wrote often on the subject of fiction, he wrote as a critic or fellow-novelist rather than as a scholar. When he wrote about English fiction he imagined ‘all the novelists … at work together in a circular room’ while ‘we’ (that is, he and his readers, who are also of course their readers) ‘look over their shoulders’.1
