'Tsung-Han Tsai's E. M. Forster and Music offers fresh readings of Forster's engagement with music, analysing for the first time in a single-author study Forster's essays and short stories in addition to his longer fiction … E. M. Forster and Music, therefore, contributes both to literary scholarship of Forster's works and word and music studies through rigorous scholarship and insightful close readings.' Parker T. Gordon, Polish Journal of English Studies
