Heiko Zimmermann. 20 Apr. 2002 <http://emforster.de/pdfs/yarrow.pdf> (to be viewed with Adobe's Acrobat Reader). Looking closely at Howards End and A Passage to India, Yarrow's essay explores different kinds of sympathy in Forster's writings. Sympathy here means the relation of the British and Indian in the British Empire, the other and the ones of the own sort and the inner and outer self. Yarrow's approach unites both the post-colonial and the gender studies point of view. Furthermore, it places Forster into a literary tradition of sympathy.
