The formal conservatism of E.M. Forster's literature places it squarely within the canon of English novels of manners. Using sarcasm, humor, and symbolism, he delves into the English middle class's lack of emotional and sensual depth. The novel A Passage to India (1924) examines the challenges of human connection via its portrayal of the interactions between a group of British colonists and local Indians. Forster argues that the English personality lacks depth and complexity because of its glacial pace.
