Howard's End (Full Version)

by E. M. Forster

Overview

The disregard of a dying woman's bequest, a girl's attempt to help an impoverished clerk, and the marriage of an idealist and a materialist — all intersect at an estate called Howards End. The fate of this country home symbolizes the future of England in an exploration of social, economic, and philosophical trends during the post-Victorian era.

About the Author

Edward Morgan Forster, OM (January 1, 1879 – June 7, 1970), was
an English novelist, short story writer, and essayist. He is known
best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class
difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society.
Forster's humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may
be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End:
"Only connect." Forster was gay, but this fact was not made public
during his lifetime. His posthumously released novel Maurice tells
of the coming of age of an explicitly gay male character
