Abstract

My favourite novelist is E. M. Forster. He was an Honorary Fellow of King’s, the first of my four Cambridge Colleges, when I went to King’s as a research student in 1955. I was fortunate to have three long conversations with Forster in the 1950s and 1960s, as it happens, all on significant events or topics: Suez in the 1950s, the suicide of a King’s Fellow in the 1960s and, with his permission, answers to my questions about his novels, especially the two set in Italy. One of his collections of essays is entitled Abinger Harvest (1936), a gathering up of threads. So I subtitled the gathering up of threads in this selection of essays from my last years in Cambridge, Cambridge Harvest, as a tribute to Forster and Cambridge
