With a working title of "The Rescue", Forster began the novel in late 1904, completing ten chapters in one month.[4] He modelled the character of Philip Herriton on Professor Edward J Dent.[5] "He knew this, and took an interest in his own progress", said Forster. The author proposed to call the book "Monteriano" but the publishers didn't like it. It was Dent who contributed the final title.[6]
