Description
E. M. Forster's nuanced exploration of English society's class divisions brings together two seemingly disparate families in a chance encounter. The preposterous Wilcox family and the intelligent Schlegel sisters are drawn together, their lives intertwined by a series of events that will test their aspirations to personal and social harmony. A young bank clerk, Leonard Bast, finds himself at the centre of this complex web, as he navigates the complexities of his own uncertain future. As the story unfolds, Forster masterfully portrays the tensions and contradictions that arise from the clash of different values and lifestyles. A country home, Howards End, becomes a symbol of the struggle for social and personal identity, as the characters grapple with their own sense of belonging and purpose. This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction by David Lodge, as well as notes and suggestions for further reading to enhance your understanding of this thought-provoking novel.
