«Howards End» is the classic novel by E. M. Forster published by Penguin Classics in paperback (352 pages, in English).
The novel follows two sisters on very different life paths and their relationships within early twentieth-century England. Forster combines irony and lyricism to explore money, social conventions, marriage, and the clash between practical and intellectual life, with the epigraph «Only connect...» as the key to the whole.
The novel was originally published in 1910 and this edition belongs to the Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics collection, with an introduction by Oliver Stallybrass.
For readers of classic English fiction interested in portraits of Edwardian society and family and class tensions.
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.
