Hi all.

I'm writing a script for a literary radio show to be broadcasted on Iceland's National Public Radio. My best friend and I have been doing these shows for a while and so when she approached me and expressed an interest in doing a show about The Well of Loneliness I immediately sprang up and said "and Maurice too!" So that's what we're doing

Not sure exactly what you are asking about; literature studies about 'Maurice' or more 'casual' references?

There's a reading/interpretation of 'Maurice' in 'E. M. Forster: The Personal Voice' by John Colmer. It gives a little background information and some perspective. I think that might be interesting for you.

I posted some links here a month ago - some of them was to articles about 'Maurice' and Forster's writing. The following three are the ones I found most interesting, but you could take a look at the others as well.
Article with focus on Forster's homosexuality: "The secret world of E. M. Forster"
Article about (20th century) gay, male literature: "Roaming the Greenwood" by Colm Tóibín
An analysis of "Maurice" with focus on the symbolic use of light and darkness in Maurice's path to self-realisationI don't know how interested you are in E. M. Forster rather than only the book? When the main focus is on homosexuality, I personally find it a little difficult to separate Forster from 'Maurice'. There's a short biography

I meant to add this link rather than the third above (but I can't edit my post). Here it is (PDF download):
Greece and Platonic Love in E. M. Forster's Maurice by P. Gilabert Baberà

Did a little more googling and came across this book that looks interesting, too: Queer Forster by R. K. Martin
