First published in 1910,*Howards End*is the novel that earned E. M. Forster recognition as a major writer. Soon to be a limited series on Starz.
At its heart lie two families-the wealthy and business-minded Wilcoxes and the cultured and idealistic Schlegels. When the beautiful and independent Helen Schlegel begins an impetuous affair with the ardent Paul Wilcox, a series of events is sparked-some very funny, some very tragic-that results in a dispute over who will inherit Howards End, the Wilcoxes' charming country home.*
As much about the clash between individual wills as the clash between the sexes and the classes,*Howards End*is a novel whose central tenet, "Only connect," remains a powerful prescription for modern life.
