"Aspects of Novel" is a must-read classic for those engaged in novel writing, literary criticism and appreciation to understand the mysteries of the art of novels. After "A Passage to India", Forster turned his focus to lecturing and literary criticism.

"Where Angels Fear to Go" is the first novel by E. M. Forster, the great British novelist of the 20th century, and is his most important and famous work. The title of the book is taken from the second half of a poem by the English poet Pope. The deliberately omitted part is "The fool breaks in." Through the description of several love affairs and marriages, the work shows the sharp opposition between the dull British middle-class society and the vibrant secular life of Italy. The theme of the song is to break through the shackles of secular prejudice and traditional morality, to stimulate the "underdeveloped heart" bound by tradition, and to bravely pursue a natural and honest life. The plot arrangement of the work is neat and clever, and the characterization of the characters and the description and capture of the momentary emotions and moods are meticulous and penetrating. It is a masterpiece of novels about worldly affairs and human nature.
