Abstract

In this article we investigate and explain similarities in selected works of British writer Edward Morgan Forster and Russian novelist Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky from perspectives both sacred and profane. We consider why the two authors incorporated music into their works. In addition, we examine various influences on both authors, including the “trinitarian” structure of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Finally, we explore possible explanations for Forster’s interest in Dostoevsky works in relation to gay themes.
