- This 238-page study of Forster’s legacy involved research into postcolonial fiction and literary theory written from the 20th to the 21st century and forging a new theory of manifest and spectral legacy. The culturally diverse works examined entailed interrogating the national and diasporic cultural and historical contexts of South Asia, South Africa, and Britain. Employing a methodology of materialist literary analysis, 6 years of doctoral and postdoctoral research went into investigating the literary output of 9 major world writers, focusing on the specific Forsterian themes of homosexuality, Modernism, Humanism, and liberalism, with each chapter requiring a distinct conceptual framework.
