Forster had five novels published in his lifetime, Where Angels Fear to Tread
(1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room with a View
(1908), Howards End
(1910) and A Passage to India (1924). A sixth novel, Maurice
, was published shortly after his death, although it had been written nearly sixty years earlier. Maurice, a homosexual love story, was controversial, given that Forster's sexuality had not been previously known or widely acknowledged. Forster had a long-term relationship with a married man called Bob Buckingham. After Forster’s and Buckingham’s deaths their ashes were mingled and scattered in a rose bed at the crematorium.
