Description
"E.M. Forster's most admired novel--the one that gave us his famous injunction, 'Only connect'--revolves around the troubled legacy of an English country house named Howards End. The old house holds significance of differing kinds for the characters whose lives are connected by it: the sweetly frail Ruth Wilcox, who longs to leave Howards End to someone who will love it as she does; her snobbish and materialistic husband and sons, who ignore her dying wish; the cultured and idealistic Schlegel sisters, whose fates are bound up with the house; and Leonard Bast, a desperately poor bank clerk who enters their orbit to his peril. Laced with social comedy and fraught with tragic misunderstandings, their relationships are infused with a tension that eventually explodes into violence--but that also makes way for a vision of hope. Written in the last years of the Edwardian era, Howards End is a classic novel of manners expanded from within to the point of bursting, and as such it is a landmark of twentieth-century fiction." --Provided by publisher.
