After leaving university he travelled on the continent with his mother. He visited Egypt,
Germany and India with the classicist Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson in 1914. Forster spent a
second spell in India in the early 1920s as the private secretary to the Maharajah of Dewas.
The Hill of Devi is his non-fictional account of this trip. While living at the court, Forster has
the first ongoing sexual relationship of his life, with Kanaya, a young boy who serves him
also as barber.
Forster had a happy personal relationship, beginning in the early 1930s, with Bob
Buckingham, a constable in the London Metropolitan Police.
After the death of his mother, Forster accepted an honorary fellowship at King's College,
Cambridge and lived for the most part in the college, doing relatively little. In 1969 he was
made a member of the Order of Merit. Forster died in Coventry the following year at the age
of 91, at the home of the Buckinghams
