Роман `Морис` , согласно воле писателя, был опубликован лишь спустя год после его кончины — в 1971 году. Книга рассказывает о любовных взаимоотношениях двух друзей, студентов Кембриджского университета, принадлежащих к английской аристократии и среднему классу.

Всемирную известность роману принесла его экранизация режиссером Джеймсом Айвори в 1987 году.
