The New Collected Short Stories

Forster's short stories are amusing, profound, lighthearted, mysterious, wise and witty. He was a master of the art. This new edition of his stories is the most comprehensive collection available. Besides the classic anthologies originally published such as "The Celestial Omnibus" and "The Eternal Moment," it includes the three most important stories published after Forster's death: "Dr Woolacott," "The Life to Come," and "The Other Boat." PN Furbank, Reader in Literature at the Open University and author of "EM Forster: A Life," has written a valuable introduction to this new edition which evaluates the short stories in the context of Forster's life and his other writing.
