To me,' D. H. Lawerence once wrote to E. M. forster, 'you are the last Englishman.' Indeed, Forster's novels offer contemporary readers clear, vibrant portraits of life in Edwardian England. Published in 1908 to both critical and popular acclaim, A Room with a View is a whimsical comedy of manners that owes more to Jane Austen that perhaps any other of his works. The central character is a muddled young girl named Lucy Honeychurch, who runs away from the man who stirs her emotions, remaining engaged to a rich snob. Forster considered it his 'nicest' novel, and today it remains probably his most well liked. Its moral is utterly simple. Throw away your etiquette book and listen to your heart. But it was Forster's next book, Howards End, a story about who would inhabit a charming old country house (and who, in a larger sense, would inherit England), that earned him recognition as a major writer. Centered around the conflict between the wealthy, materialistic Wilcox family and the cultured, idealistic Schlegel sisters-and informed by Forester's famous dictum 'Only connect'-it is full of tenderness towards favorite characters. 'Howards End is a classic English novel . . . superb and wholly cherishable . . . one that admirers have no trouble reading over and over again,' said Alfred Kazin.

Love is not a "thing", it is a feeling. It has no shape, no colour, no smell and no taste, but it is the most wonderful enjoyment one can possess on our very planet. At least I believe so. Mentioning that, I have to admit it also can be a most torturous ago...

答辯完戀戀不捨,骨子裏還是適閤讀文學啊
評分霍華德莊園是我看過的人物關係發展最不自然、最牽強的“名著”。
評分雖然福斯特聲稱自己的寫作比較軟 沒有力量,但是 柔可剋剛。
評分在樓下本來是去買聽力練習的 衝動隨手買下(還很便宜呢)決定每天讀一章 我會打卡的 歡迎監督
評分E.M.Foster書中的象徵比較多,看《霍華德莊園》這本書的時候斷斷續續看瞭很久,書中有挺多內容比較難懂,但不管怎麼說,都是對轉型時期的英國的一種描繪吧,還有女性主義各個角度都可以解讀。
