Howards End is about social conventions, codes of conduct and relationships in turn-of-the-century England.

Published in 1910, Howards End won intertiol acclaim for its insightful portrait of English life during the post-Victorian era.

Autor

Edward Morgan Forster (1879 - 1970), better known by his pen name E. M. Forster, was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. 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 ... ". His 1908 novel, A Room with a View, is his most optimistic work, while A Passage to India (1924) brought him his greatest success. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 16 different years.
