Editorial Reviews
Book Description
"Only Connect," Forster's key aphorism, informs this novel about an English country house, Howards End, and its influence on the lives of the wealthy and materialistic Wilcoxes; the cultured, idealistic Schlegel sisters; and the poor bank clerk Leonard Bast. Bringing together people from different classes and nations by way of sympathetic insight and understanding, Howards End eloquently addresses the question "Who shall inherit England?"
About the Series: Each Norton Critical Edition includes an authoritative text, contextual and source materials, and a wide range of interpretations-from contemporary perspectives to the most current critical theory-as well as a bibliography and, in most cases, a chronology of the author's life and work.
About the Author
Born in London in 1879, E.M. Fosrter's father died before he was two, and his childhood was dominated by his mother and his aunts. Throughout his writing, Forster criticizes Victorian middle class attitudes, British colonialism, pomposity and hypocrisy through his strong female characters.
