Forster. Both are stories of extreme contrasts-in values, social class and cultural perspectives. Romantic relationships lead to conventional happiness in the delightful social comedy A Room with a View, and to unexpected scandal in the richer, deeply moving novel Howards End.Howards End, which rivals A Passage to India as Forsters greatest work, makes a country house in Hertfordshire the center and the symbol for what Lionel Trilling called a class war about who would inherit England. Commerce clashes with culture, greed with gentility.A Room with a View brings home the stuffiness of upper-middle-class Edwardian society in a tremendously funny comedy that pairs a well-bred young lady with a lusty railway clerk and satirizes both the clergy and the English notion of respectability.Quintessentially British, these two novels have become twentieth-century classics. With an introduction and bibliography by Benjamin DeMott.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936121618720,"sku":"NEW0451521412","price":10.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-room-with-a-view-and-howards-end-signet-classics-0451521412","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
