Abstract

This paper explores the intricate connections between William di Canzio's *Alec* and E.M. Forster's *Maurice*, particularly how both texts represent hope in queer experiences. By applying Sara Ahmed's theory of queer phenomenology and Rita Felski's concept of 'recognition', it articulates queer hope as a dynamic notion that transcends traditional happy endings, shedding light on the ongoing struggles and aspirations of LGBTQIA+ individuals across time.
