Where liberals fear to tread: E.M. Forster's queer internationalism and the ethics of care
Article Abstract:
The conflict between Forster as "queer internationalist" and as liberal is analyzed through a rereading of his "Where Angels Fear to Tread". It is found that as a novelist of politics, Forster tends to evoke contradictory liberal-humanism but as a novelist of ethics, he is discerning and original in restructuring liberalism along feminist and transnational lines.

It is suggested that there is misrecognition of cultural self and differences in culture which Forster fails to recognize and misrepresents.
