We follow him through public school and Cambridge, and into his father's firm. In a highly structured society, Maurice is a conventional young man in almost every way — except that he is homosexual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten during 1913 and 1914, immediately after \u003cem\u003eHowards End\u003c\/em\u003e, and not published until 1971, \u003cem\u003eMaurice\u003c\/em\u003e was ahead of its time in its theme and in its affirmation that love between men can be happy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Happiness is its keynote… In Maurice I tried to create a character who was completely unlike myself or what I supposed myself to be: someone handsome, healthy, bodily attractive, mentally torpid, not a bad businessman and rather a snob. Into this mixture I dropped an ingredient that puzzles him, wakes him up, torments him and finally saves him.\" — E.M.
