Aspects of the Novel, the speech collection of the renowned British novelist and essayist, E. M. Foster is regarded as the Bible of writing in Taiwan. Among his works, Where Angels Fear to Tread, A Room with a View, Howards End, A Passage to India, and Maurice are not only popular, but also widely adapted into film and television works. As a classical music lover, Foster often puts music into the novel, providing a clever cultural atmosphere and intertextual relationship. We will guide you through Foster’s literary life and music reference techniques, and further discuss how classical music are used in the film adaptations to relate the topics, to decipher the novels with beautiful melodies. Let’s read novels, watch movies, and listen to music! Come and enjoy with us by exploring the interactions between different artistic creations in the worlds of E. M. Foster and classical music.
