| Evidence: | E. M. Forster to Edward Garnett, 28 October 1907:
'You said I might write to you about The Breaking Point. I think it wonderful, and unlike anything I have read before. One receives images from some books, and yours suggested a vase in the hands of a clumsy person which will be dropped sooner or later, but when, one cannot tell. I had this image even before I came to the broken glass in the first act.' |
