Howards End (Warbler Classics)
Howards End is considered by many to be E. M. Forster's masterpiece. First published in 1910, this beguiling and completely captivating tale explores social conventions, codes of conduct, and relationships in turn-of-the-century Edwardian England. The story revolves around three families: the Wilcoxes, rich capitalists with a fortune made in the colonies; the half-German Schlegel siblings, whose cultural pursuits have much in common with the Bloomsbury Group-a loose collective of friends and relatives who were united by an abiding belief in the importance of the arts; and the Basts, an impoverished young couple from a lower-class background. A chance encounter, impetuous youth, love, and ambition play into the inheritance of Howards End, the Wilcox's charming country home. Howards End was adapted as a film in 1992 by the Merchant-Ivory team, starring Vanessa Redgrave, Emma Thompson, Anthony Hopkins, and Helena Bonham-Carter.

Praise for this book
"Forster's effort to draw meaning and hope from a society divided by money, class, culture, and social irresponsibility is timelier than ever in the post-Bonfire era."
-Rolling Stone
"Howards End stands with Our Mutual Friend and The Princess Casamassima as one of the great comments on the class struggle."
-Lionel Trilling
