Research Plan
This thesis will look at how Forster portrays Italy and Italians in two of his key novels. Forster in his novels often contrasts cold, inhibited English people with more spontaneous, hearty foreigners: Indians, Greeks and especially Italians. There will be a specific focus on portrayals of the sexuality of the two nationalities. The work will take into account the fact that Forster's views were often idealized and romanticized. The thesis will include Forster's own experiences in Italy and the general perceptions of Italians at the time he was writing.
Structure:
Forster's bio especially his experience in Italy (where he went, friendships, influences); overview of Forster's other novels, short stories and non-fiction
English/British tourism in Italy around the turn of the century; stereotypes
Other books set in Italy around the time: Henry James, etc.
Analysis of the novels
Conclusion
