There's no woods left: The Progression of Hope in William Di Canzio's Alec (2021) and E.M. Forster's Maurice (1971). Hueso-Vasallo, Manuel Forster, E.M.- Crítica e interpretación Teoría queer 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. 2026-03-05 journal article Manuel Hueso-Vasallo (2026) ‘There’s no woods left’: the progression of hope in William di Canzio’s Alec (2021) and E.M.
