Chandana Khan’s Time and Place Syndrome in E M Forster’s Novels bursts the myth of Forster as a mythmaker. Born out of an abandoned MPhil thesis, in this book Chandana Khan shows that Forster does not rely only on mythologies to consummate his novels but his novels are basically novels of condition—the condition of England, the condition of the colonial other, the condition of time and place. Thereby Forster’s work transcends the moment and becomes eternal. Chandana Khan takes us to the other side of the hedge to view Forster anew. She discloses her perception and experiences as a student of literature who vividly studied and analysed the pieces of E. M. Forster particularly the elemental substantially of time and place of his novels.

A perspective look at E M Forster’s novels – useful for English literature students and aficionados.
