| description | Maurice remains a peculiar object in Forster’s fiction as well as in literature in general and keeps generating arguments among critics. One of the main reasons is certainly to be found in the author’s decision to tackle directly the question of homosexuality, a personal as much as a social taboo. The conflict between light and darkness, expression and silence, desire and convention, characterises all of Forster’s works but reaches a climax in this novel. The aim of this paper is to study through the analyses of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick in particular how the interplay of norm and transgression lies at the heart of the story, of its writing and publication and to highlight how this dialectic is carried to extremes. |
