(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed) Introduction by Alfred Kazan
First published in 1910, Howards End is the novel that earned E. M.
Forster recognition as a major writer. 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. "From
the Trade Paperback edition."
