E.M.福斯特1941年發表的關於薩福克郡詩人喬治·克拉布的文章，對本傑明·布里頓創作歌劇《彼得·格萊姆斯》起到了至關重要的作用。福斯特著重介紹了克拉布的詩作《自治市鎮》，這首詩描繪了這位殘酷的漁夫，促使布里頓和彼得·皮爾斯結束流亡生涯，返回英國，並將這個故事改編成了歌劇。

E.M. Forster’s
1941 article about Suffolk poet George Crabbe played a pivotal role in inspiring Benjamin Britten to create the opera Peter Grimes. By highlighting Crabbe’s poem "The Borough," which depicted the brutal fisherman, Forster helped prompt Britten and Peter Pears to return to England from exile and adapt the story.- Connection to the Opera: The article, often titled "George Crabbe: The Poet and the Man," prompted Britten to read "The Borough" in 1941, leading to the creation of the 1945 opera.
- Significance: Forster’s insights into the local color of the East Anglian coast, as described by Crabbe, resonated with Britten, who saw artistic potential in the story of the isolated, misunderstood fisherman.
- The Content: Forster’s writing deepened the understanding of the source material—the harsh, judgmental community (the "Borough") and the troubled,, often cruel, character of Grimes.
- Legacy: The essay is sometimes included in publications related to the opera’s history and libretto.
Peter Grimes itself is a masterpiece about a fisherman accused of killing his apprentices, focusing on themes of social rejection, mob mentality, and the harsh, unforgiving sea.
