"It is rather difficult, indeed delicate, to think of and to try to consider the theme of self-perpetuation in the novels of E.M. Forster, for we come across several other themes in them, ones more prominent, more attractive and more interesting. Nevertheless, this theme of self-perpetuation has a kind of subtlety that is challenging in nature." -Dr. Smita Jha
