Lucy Honeychurch travels to Florence with her rigid cousin Charlotte. There, the eccentric Emersons and the novelist Eleanor Lavish question her Victorian upbringing.

Novel originally published in 1908; this Penguin Classics edition, with an introduction by Oliver Stallybrass, includes the sequel 'A View without a Room'.
For readers of English literary classics and period novels that combine social irony and romance.
Edward Morgan Forster was an English author. He is best known for his novels, particularly A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). He also wrote numerous short stories, essays, speeches and broadcasts, as well as biographies and pageant plays. His short story "The Machine Stops" (1909) is often viewed as the beginning of technological dystopian fiction. He also co-authored the libretto to Benjamin Britten's opera Billy Budd (1951). Many of his novels examine class differences and hypocrisy. His views as a humanist are at the heart of his work.
