Forster on the Air: TV and Radio Adaptations of the Works of E. M. Forster
The paper attempts to ... more Forster on the Air: TV and Radio Adaptations of the Works of E. M. Forster
The paper attempts to show how radio and TV adaptations kept E. M. Forster’s popularity as a writer alive in a period when he no longer wrote and published fiction. Half a century of the continuous presence of these audiovisual adaptations on the air paved the way for the Academy Awards winning movies in the 1980s and 1990s, and the consequent rediscovery of Forster’s fiction, which also resulted, in turn, in further adaptations, such as the most recent Marcy Kahan’s two-part BBC radio dramatisation of A Room With A View in May 2023. The discussion covers the period from Forster’s first broadcasted short story in 1927 to the premiere of David Lean’s A Passage to India in 1984. It follows Forster’s collaboration with the most eminent radio producers and various media outlets. It charts as well the gradual change of the writer’s attitude from the initial mistrust in the new medium to the extensive collaboration with the adapters. One of the particular points made in the paper is the multimedial character of these adaptations as they were typically re-adapted to various formats – the same text could be used for stage performance, radio play, and TV
film as was the case of Santa Rama Rau stage adaptation of A Passage to India (1960). The article is based on the limited available materials (sadly, most of the early TV films and radio recordings are apparently either lost or hidden in the archives of the BBC), criticism, as well as Forster’s own comments on the cinema and adaptations.

Readers from Central-Eastern Europe were among the first in the world to be able to read A Passage to India in translation with the concurrent Russian and Czech editions in 1926, within two years of the original publication. They were followed by a Polish (1938) and a Hungarian (1941) editions. The novel was Forster's most popular work in the region, which became the Soviet Bloc after the Second World War, with fourteen translations into eleven languages published in eight states by the end of the 1980s when the Bloc collapsed. The only other Forster novel to appear there regularly in the period was Howards End. The paper presents the political and cultural context of the novel's publication in the area. The further part concentrates on the two Polish editions (1938 and 1979), it presents the most peculiar story of the first edition and the contemporary reception of both translations.

Forster's A Passage to India . There have been at least 56 translations in at least thirty guages since 1925 when the first Swedish translation appeared. It is difficult to give a precise number as some more may be expected in the anniversary year. Some of them were quickly replaced, some (such as the French and Finnish translations from the 1920s) have been in print ever since their first publication. The presentation is ordered chronologically, according to languages in order to show the changes within one language (some translations such as the Spanish or Portuguese circulate beyond state boundaries). The presentation is, for obvious reasons, merely an over-
view, an invitation to Forsterian scholars from various cultures to analyse the translations into their languages.

Kevin Kwan’s Sex and Vanity as an „Update” of E. M. Forster
The publication of Kevin Kwan’s Sex and Vanity in the end of June 2020 coincided with the 50thanniversary of E. M. Forster’s death. After a series of three extremely successful novels about affluent inhabitants of the Far East, starting with Crazy Rich Asians (2013), Kwan was apparently inspired by Forster’s A Room with a View. Consequently, he decided to transfer the 1908 novel to the 2010s, replacing in the process Tuscany with Capri and Surrey with New York. The adaptation is a perfect example of how one can murder a Forster’s novel in three easy strokes – by changing the time of its action, the location, and, most importantly, the social origins of the main characters. The conflict which drives the original novel turns out surprisingly trivial in the world of the top 1% a century later. The novel, promoted by its publisher as “women’s fiction” and “Kevin Kwan’s most decadent book yet”, reads like a glossy magazine blown out of proportion, full of detailed descriptions of expensive dresses (each and every one comes with the label of a famous designer) and extravagant interiors. The novel does, however, have a single saving grace albeit for a fairly limited group of readers. Accomplished Forsterians will certainly enjoy the ingenious ways in which Kwan tries to reinvent Forster’s char-acters and plot twists. Unfortunately, the joy comes at a price –342 pages of quite tedious fiction

It presents various forms of adaptations of or responses to the works of Forster, concentrating on those which have been created since the writer's death in 1970. The discussed material consists of approximately one hundred instances of various works of art related in a number of ways to Forster's oeuvre and biography: adaptations, works inspired by Forster's oeuvre or biography, and, finally, works which enter into a dialogue with Forster and his views. Radio plays, operas, plays, movies, musicals, comic books, concept albums, etc. have been included as well. The paper also touches upon Forster's reception among scholars and in political journalism. The paper is supplemented with lists of various adaptations. The two files are draft with links to sources and the official published text.

Forster and the Idea of Friendship” in: Kusek, Robert and Ewa Kowal (eds.), Politics and Poetics of Friendship, Kraków: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, 2017, pp. 113-126. E. M. Forster famously wrote in his 1938 essay „What I Believe” „if I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend I hope I should have the guts to betray my country”. This striking statement captures the attitude with which Forster approached friendship. The paper aims at reconstructing the role of friendship in the writer’s biography as well as his works. It will further present various functions of friendship in Forsterian fiction – such as the ability of friendship to break through social and national barriers - from Forster’s first short story “The Story of a Panic” to his last novel "A Passage to India".

Forster (1879-1970) with a special stress on the usage of symbolism in his early fiction. The book offers a new approach to Forster's symbolism derived from the theoretical studies of Michael Riffaterre and his concept of symbolic systems - subtext and syllepsis. The author presents the most important symbols as used in the discussed novels and their usage in Forster's later works. A further part of the study concentrates on the issue of spatial symbolism. The symbolism of the Italian novels A Room with a View and Where Angels Fear to Tread is presented as an artistic means for the introduction of social issues especially important for the writer, as well as a method of concealed presentation of issues which for social and personal reasons Forster could not include openly in his works such as homosexuality.

"This collection of essays edited by Krzysztof Fordoński, a renowned specialist in E.M. Forster’s novels, is devoted to various aspects of Forster’s literary output and undoubtedly will be a landmark publication. The book successfully presents all the major issues important in Forster’s works for the contemporary reader: cultural differences, existential and aesthetic problems, varieties of sexual desire, educational challenges. These aspects are discussed from the viewpoint of postcolonial, gender, translation, educational, and cultural studies. This volume should be easily accessible to a wider, international audience, readers who enjoy Forster’s novels and are interested in learning about a variety of issues associated with his life and works."

Forster’s interest in emotions as well as in various ways of expressing and suppressing them was expressed in a variety ways. His essays on the matter such as “Notes on the English Character” in which he presents the idea of “the undeveloped heart” are probably the best known. Forster finds “the undeveloped heart” characteristic of the British, especially men of the upper classes, educated in public schools.
The issue, however, plays an equally important role in Forster’s fictional works. The ways and means of ex(sup)pressing emotions are often used in his novels and short stories as a useful element of characterisation and tool in development of the plot. They become especially valuable devises in those texts in which representatives of different cultures come into contact or oppose each other (e.g. the English and the Italians in Where Angels Fear to Tread, or the English and the Indians in A Passage to India), often, though not always, resulting in the conflict of unreasonable emotion vs. emotionless reason.
The paper attempts to reconstruct Forster’s understanding of emotions (concentrating in their forms and expression in Great Britain opposed by those of Italy and India) and present the ways the novelist uses ex(sup)pressing emotions in the structure of his works (discussed on selected excerpts).

The novel does, however, have a single saving grace albeit for a fairly limited group of readers. Accomplished Forsterians will certainly enjoy the ingenious ways in which Kwan tries to reinvent Forster’s char-acters and plot twists. Unfortunately, the joy comes at a price –342 pages of quite tedious fiction

"This collection of essays edited by Krzysztof Fordoński, a renowned specialist in E.M. Forster’s novels, is devoted to various aspects of Forster’s literary output and undoubtedly will be a landmark publication. The book successfully presents all the major issues important in Forster’s works for the contemporary reader: cultural differences, existential and aesthetic problems, varieties of sexual desire, educational challenges. These aspects are discussed from the viewpoint of postcolonial, gender, translation, educational, and cultural studies. This volume should be easily accessible to a wider, international audience, readers who enjoy Forster’s novels and are interested in learning about a variety of issues associated with his life and works."
Prof. Piotr Wilczek, Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies „Artes Liberales”, University of Warsaw"
A collection of ten essays on various aspects of E. M. Forster’s literary oeuvre ranging from his use of mythological elements, film adaptations, the use of emotions and happy endings, to the reception of Forster’s works in Poland. Some of them attempt to offer a broad and general view of Forster’s literary achievement, other concentrate on minor issues or less known texts. Many of the essays have been formerly published, some have only been presented at conferences, they are now published in corrected, expanded, and updated versions. The publication is expected in the Spring of 2016 and it will be available as an e-book and in printed version.

The issue, however, plays an equally important role in Forster’s fictional works. The ways and means of ex(sup)pressing emotions are often used in his novels and short stories as a useful element of characterisation and tool in development of the plot. They become especially valuable devises in those texts in which representatives of different cultures come into contact or oppose each other (e.g. the English and the Italians in Where Angels Fear to Tread, or the English and the Indians in A Passage to India), often, though not always, resulting in the conflict of unreasonable emotion vs. emotionless reason.
The paper attempts to reconstruct Forster’s understanding of emotions (concentrating in their forms and expression in Great Britain opposed by those of Italy and India) and present the ways the novelist uses ex(sup)pressing emotions in the structure of his works (discussed on selected excerpts).
Religion is one of the main forces which influence the social and personal life presented in E. M. Forster’s 'Maurice'. Its place is quite naturally second to the influence of the law, and yet it is religious upbringing and a vision of morality rooted in religious teaching that largely shape the way its characters perceive themselves and their own behaviour, guide them in their choices.
The first part of the paper will concentrate on the text itself – offering a close reading of those parts of the text where religion/religions plays a part, stressing their importance in the structure of the novel. The aim is to retrace the influence of religion (predominantly Christianity but also ancient Greek religion) on the main characters’ psychological development and behaviour. The issue will be discussed in the context of Forster’s personal attitude towards organised religion.
The second part will concentrate on various readings of the issue – on the one hand seeking critics’ reactions. On the other hand, however, in attempt to reconstruct the attitudes of modern readers coming from various religious background to the novel in the context of the attitudes of modern religions. At least in part the papers attempts to answer the following question: to what extent has 'Maurice' dated in this particular respect and to what extent it remains a contemporary work for many of its 21st century homosexual readers describing dilemmas which they face in their lives.

The article presents various issues connected with cooperation between literary translators and their editors in the process of publication of translations of literary works within the frame of reference of Polish publishing market of the recent decades. The author proposes a list of qualities which should be expected from a good editor of literary translations. The issue of training editors specializing in working with translators is discussed as well, although the author stresses the importance of practice over theoretical education, available on a rather limited scale in Poland. Further part of the article warns against possible dangers resulting from editors’ lack of competence. The importance of “peer edition” is also stressed as an important stage in the process of translation. An earlier Polish-language version was published as: “Kanadyjka czy dwójka ze sternikiem? Kilka słów o redakcji przekładu” (“Canadian Canoe or Coxed Pair? Some Remarks on Editing Translations”) Kubiński, Wojciech and Olga Kubińska eds. Przekładając nieprzekładalne. O wierności. Gdańsk: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Gdańskiego, 2007, pp. 95-101.
The article, originally inspired by the studies of Pascale Casanova and Pierre Bourdieu, attempts to answer the question who in Poland profits from literary translation. The concept of “profit” is understood very broadly, both in financial or economic context, and in context of the acquiring and losing cultural, social, and symbolic capital. It is analysed both from the point of view of an individual (translator, publisher, and reader) and social (cultural and language community).
The article seeks to deal also such issues as the influence of foreign literature available in translation on the local literary market and locally produced literature. In Polish.

Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski (1595-1640) was known in his lifetime as the Christian Horace. He was one of the most famous Neo-Latin poets of the Baroque, widely read, commented and translated throughout Europe. He was nominated Poet Laureate by Pope Urban VIII. Sarbiewski was also famous for his studies in rhetoric and critical works such as De perfecta poesi sive Vergilius et Homerus.
His Latin poetry was read, translated and imitated also in England, especially from 1640 until the first half of the 19th century. The first edition of Sarbiewski’s English translations, by George Hills, was published in 1646. From that time onwards, Sarbiewski was translated by a variety of poets ranging from Hills to such famous authors as Vaughan, Burns and Coleridge. His poetry was universally read in grammar schools and used as a medium of improving the knowledge of Latin during a period exceeding two centuries. Thanks to Sarbiewski, English poets started to imitate Horace, which was an important factor in overcoming the Pindaric tradition. Sarbiewski’s oeuvre was also attractive owing to its immersion in various cultural traditions such as Stoicism, Ignatian spirituality, Platonism, and Hermeticism.
This edition includes all known English translations of Sarbiewski’s poems. The texts are accompanied by an introduction presenting the biography and works of Sarbiewski, as well as a short critical analysis of the translations included in the volume.
"These days, enthusiasts of Neo-Latin poetry in general, and Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski (Sarbievius) in particular, are few and far between. Perhaps only they will recognize the great importance of this new anthology, but all who do take cognizance of it will receive it with gratitude."

The paper presents a less known episode in the life of the Puritan poetess and diarist Lucy Hutchinson - a translation of an epigram written by the Polish Jesuit poet Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski - in the context of Hutchinson's life and work.
“I traduttori vittoriani dell'opera poetica di Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski” („The Victorian Translators of the Poetry of Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski”), in: Il traduttore errante: figure, strumenti, orizzonti, Prola, Dario and Elżbieta Jamrozik (eds.), Warszawa: Institute of Specialised and Intercultural Communication (University of Warsaw), 2017, pp. 55-65.
The arrival of the Romanticism at the turn of the 19th century spelled the end of the popularity of Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski’s poetry in England. It was nothing extraordinary in itself and Sarbiewski was by no means an exception. The tastes changed and neo-stoic or religious Baroque neo-Latin poetry from distant Poland spoke to very few English readers. And yet, surprisingly enough, there were still poets and translators who, for a variety of reasons, found Sarbiewski an interesting material for translation.
The present paper concentrates on several of them (John Bowring, John Docwra Parry, Richard Coxe, Francis Sylvester Mahony, John Sheehan, and William Crosse) in an attempt to reconstruct their motivations and contexts within which their translations (adaptations) were created, published, and circulated.
In a broader sense the paper traces Sarbiewski’s transitions within English literary canon (e.g. in the case of Mahony the introduction of Sarbiewski, a poet traditionally presented somewhat vaguely as “Christian”, into the canon of Jesuit Latin poets). The paper also aims at reconstructing the change in attitudes towards the translation process, quality, and assessment visible in the move from the dominating tendency towards various types of adaptation towards more and more precise and faithful translation in the mid-19th century through presentation of translators of the period who by trial and error attempted to create a new and more modern approach to translation.
Translated by Roberto Peressin
Joseph Hucks, the author of Poems (1798), explaining his decision to add to the volume of his own poems (both original and translated) the four translations of poems of Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski (1595-1640) done by his friend William Margetson Heald, ended his brief “Preface” with the following words: “my motives, I fear, will be deemed self-interested, in thus endeavouring to secure, by so valuable an addition to it, a favourable reception to the volume which contains them”. The subject of the present paper is the roles which such translations from the Polish Baroque Neo-Latin poet played in collections of poetry, original and translated, published (usually at the authors’ expense) by various minor 18th century English poets.
The point of departure will be an analysis of three such collections (the anonymous Mele Ephemeria, 1783, Talbot Keene’s Miscellaneous Pieces, 1787, and Hucks’ Poems, 1798), the position of the translated poems with the volume, authorial comments, as well as the quality of translation and characteristics of the selected poems of Sarbiewski. The analysed material includes also numerous translations published in the press and other collections of poetry (e.g. William Mason, S. T. Coleridge, William Herbert, Jesse Kitchener) in the period and critical response to them. The aim of the paper is on the one hand to present the position of Sarbiewski and his poetry in England of the late 18th century. On the other hand, however, it is to show how Sarbiewski’s poetry could be used to establish a poet’s credentials as translator along the greatest Latin authors such as Horace, Ovid, or Virgil.
On the continent Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski seemed a pious Jesuit father, a benign neo-Latin poet, equal if not better than Horace. When almost immediately after his death his poetry crossed the English channel, his poetry gained an unexpected subversive power. It gained a new territory not so much for what it was but thanks to a new purpose for which it could be used.
In Great Britain controlled by the forces of the Parliament acquaintance with the works of Sarbiewski became a telling sign for the Royalists. At the same time, regardless of his religious adherence, Sarbiewski gained popularity as a Neo-Stoic writer. Consequently, several Royalist poets started to write and publish translations from Sarbiewski which departed from the originals in such ways which allowed the poets to express their true sentiments and bypass Parliamentary censorship. Others would quote excerpts from his poems in their original works.
The present paper traces the way Sarbiewski’s poems were used – translated, adapted, quoted, emulated etc. - by such Metaphysical poets as Richard Lovelace, Henry Vaughan, Abraham Cowley and Sir John Denham, to mention but a few. It will also present an analysis of the most important testimony to Sarbiewski’s popularity in the days of the War of Three Kingdoms and the Commonwealth period, a volume of translations by George Hils.

An excellent source for all courses in history of English literature, 'English Literature. An Anthology for Students' offers a new and comprehensive collection of the most important English literary texts from Beowulf to essays of Virginia Woolf and beyond. The two-volume selection was based on reading lists and curricula of Polish departments of English studies. The original idea was to offer a selection of texts as close as possible to actual expectations of teachers and students of departments of English studies, teacher training colleges, departments of applied linguistics, and any other schools where history of English literature is taught.
The selection should be an appropriate basis for a variety of courses. In order to make it more flexible we decided to introduce several complete longer texts such as Beowulf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight or The Rape of the Lock, leaving the choice of excerpts for critical analysis to the users according to the specific needs of their classes and students. The texts have been supplemented with extensive critical footnotes and explanations of the more rare and obscure vocabulary, there are also biographical notes introducing their authors.
We hope that our anthology will be an excellent source for all courses in history of English literature. However, it may also serve as an introduction to English literary texts to all non-academic readers who are ready to take the challenge of reading them in the original.

Wharton nie mieści się w żadnej szufladce, stąd zapewne brak jego nazwiska w opracowaniach naukowych. Po części winna jest jego odmowa przyłączenia się do literackich grup czy pokoleń (Wharton został kiedyś nazwany “bitnikiem spóźnionym o ćwierć wieku”) a także niezgoda na udział w promocji własnej twórczości. Być może zmarnował swoją szansę na literacką wielkość, odkładając debiut do pięćdziesiątki, trzeba jednak przyznać, że pozostawił po sobie kilka wartych uwagi książek, które zapewniły mu pod koniec życia międzynarodową sławę i popularność.
The book is a popular Polish-language monograph study in the life and works of the American novelist and painter William Wharton (Albert du Aime, 1925-2008). William Wharton gained international fame and popularity with his first awarded novel 'Birdy' (1979), his popularity was furthered strengthened by such books as 'Dad' and 'Midnight Clear', all of which were made into movies, while 'Birdy' was also made into a play. Although in the 1990s his popularity in the United States gradually decreased and his later books were not received so well, at the same time Wharton started to enjoy an immense popularity in numerous non-English speaking countries ('Birdy' alone has been translated into 19 foreign languages) which has continued even after his death as new translations are still published. And yet Wharton still remains something of a secret writer with a cult following as available critical sources are minor and often incomplete while the author deserves a critical monograph. My book will be the first attempt in English to deal with this task, offering an evaluation of a critically neglected novelist.
Wharton could not be easily put in a cathegory and he escaped the attention of American and British literary scholars. Among reasons one must list here his refusal to adhere to any literary group or generation (Wharton was once defined as “a beat novelist quarter of a century late”) and his adamant refusal to become involved in any public activities or promotion. He may have missed his chance to become a first rate novelist also by delaying his debut until his fifties, still, his oeuvre includes several novels worthy of intrest which brought him an impressive international popularity which amply justifies publication of a critical monograph study.

He may have missed his chance to become a first rate novelist also by delaying his debut until his fifties, still, his oeuvre includes several novels worthy of intrest which brought him an impressive international popularity which amply justifies publication of a critical monograph study.
I consider myself an especially appropriate candidate for the task for several reasons. I knew personally and often met and interviewed the writer and his relatives. My interest in his works dates back to the early 1990s when I started to read and then translate his works. Thanks to my collaboration with his Polish publisher apart from a selection of critical texts I also have access to the original texts of his books have not yet published in English. I have access both to the published Polish versions of otherwise unpublished novels and to an immense body of interviews the author gave for Polish press and media during his visits.
The book will be addressed to students and specialists in American literature as well as Wharton’s readers interesting in expanding their knowledge of the author. As "Birdy" and some other of his books can be found on school and university curricula (literature but also psychology), the basic market will be US and UK school and university libraries, to a smaller degree students. Wharton, however, still enjoys great popularity abroad (mostly among the young and educated – often English-speaking – readers), consequently, the book may sell at least as well beyond the US/UK market to a fairly similar audience.
The only book size study on Wharton is my "Bert. Szkic do portretu Williama Whartona" (Poznan 2004) in Polish. The book has since sold out in over three thousand copies. This popular edition, however, was aimed mainly at Wharton's readers in Poland hence it is my intention now to prepare a completely new critical study which would only incorporate parts of the previously published material. The only study in Wharton in English is his “Biography” by Gale Reference Team available online.

In the quantitative part of the research team approached 3038 people from all over Poland of various ages (between 18 and 61 years of age), living in relationships of various duration (from 6 months to 42 years). 9% of the respondents live in families with children (from one to four children). It is the first time so much data concerning children raised by non-heterosexual people was collected.

The article presents four British poems from four different literary periods sharing a common theme: complaint about the poet’s poverty. Each of the poems – “Deor”, “Complaint of Chaucer to His Purse”, Barnfield’s “The Complaint of Poetrie, for the Death of Liberalitie” (his “The Encomion of Lady Pecunia: Or The Praise of Money” is also mentioned) and Burns’ „Lines Written on a Banknote” – is presented within the context of the contemporary economic situations of English poets in general, and the specific biographical circumstances in which they were written. In a broader sense the article presents in a brief and light way the economic reality of literary creativity in Great Britain from the early Middle Ages to our times. In Polish.
From a review:
As indicated in the opening paragraphs, queer theory and broadly LGBTIQ approaches have been finding new homes as well as finally being given voices in publication. One such from Poland, edited by Dominika Ferens, Tomasz Basiuk and Tomasz Sikor, is the second in what is hopefully a series. It is suggested in the introduction to the slim volume Out Here: Local and International Perspectives in Queer Studies that it builds on its predecessor because more of its authors address the local context of Poland and Eastern Europe. This is obviously welcome in and of itself, but additionally so because viewpoints from Poland are rare more generally as a result of prejudice against Polish immigrants in Western Europe. Of the essays focused on Poland, Krzysztof Fordoński’s ‘Handling the Touchy Subject: Dealing with the Author’s Alleged or Actual Homosexuality in Polish Studies in the History of English Literature’ gives numerous examples where historical, contextual material for literature studies, apparently deliberately, has left out or misled readers on the subject of author homosexuality. Interestingly, the contextual texts in which information about the non-heteronormative desires of authors does appear are almost all in English, rather than Polish, meaning that the breadth of the picture is only ever likely to reach Polish university students who access English rather than Polish sources, and certainly not the wider Polish population whose access is limited by the lack of working knowledge of English (p. 36).
Shamira A. Meghani, 'Queer Theory and Sexualities', The Years Work in Critical and Cultural Theory, The English Association, 2010"
The theoretical aim of the article is to start a discussion concerning the approach towards discussion understood as a (in the Author's opinion largely neglected) teaching method. The practical part of the article includes a selection of information concerning the Angry Young Writers (1950-1965) with a special stress put on their approach towards their recognition (or being labelled) as a generation. The material collected for the article may be further used for the preparation of a number of classes which would also be on the one hand aimed at a presentation of the literary period why on the other hand would give students and teachers a concise material for the discussion concerning the similarities and differences among the authors in question.
