About this ebook
E. M. Forster's greatest novel, Howards End is both a humorous and tragic tale of class warfare and connection across divides, told through a star-crossed love affair and a battle over the inheritance of a family's country home, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Classics Line.
First published in 1910, Howards End is E. M. Forster's best known novel, and the work that established him as a major literary figure of the twentieth century. The novel follows a clash between two contrasting families. When the idealistic Helen Schlegel begins an affair with the wealthy Paul Wilcox, the two inadvertently set off a battle over Howards End, the country home of the Wilcoxes. As the characters reckon with class and gender dynamics, misunderstandings, and betrayals, the fate of Howards End becomes a test of empathy. A classic that continues to resonate through the decades—Zadie Smith’s On Beauty is a contemporary reimagining of Forster's novel—Howards End is a timeless exploration of class conflict and human connection.
