Penguin English Library Howards End (The Penguin English Library)

The Penguin English Library Edition of Howards End by E. M. Forster

Frequently cited as E. M. Forster's finest work, Howards End brilliantly explores class warfare, conflict and the English character.
'Only connect.' is the idea at the heart of this book, a heartbreaking and provocative tale of three families at the beginning of the twentieth century: the rich Wilcoxes, the gentle, idealistic Schlegels and the lower-middle class Basts. As the Schlegel sisters try desperately to help the Basts and educate the close-minded Wilcoxes, the families are drawn together in love, lies and death.
