A meticulously-observed drama of class warfare, E.M. Forster's "Howards End" explores the conflict inherent within English society, unveiling the character of a nation as never before. This "Penguin Classics" edition includes an introduction and notes by David Lodge. 'Only connect...' A chance acquaintance brings together the preposterous bourgeois Wilcox family and the clever, cultured and idealistic Schlegel sisters. As clear-eyed Margaret develops a friendship with Mrs Wilcox, the impetuous Helen brings into their midst a young bank clerk named Leonard Bast, who lives at the edge of poverty and ruin. When Mrs Wilcox dies, her family discovers that she wants to leave her country home, Howards End, to Margaret. Thus as Forster sets in motion a chain of events that will entangle three different families, he brilliantly portrays their aspirations to personal and social harmony. David Lodge's introduction provides an absorbing and eloquent overture to the 1910 novel that established Forster's reputation as an important writer, and that he himself later referred to as 'my best novel'. This edition also contains a note on the text, suggestions for further reading, and explanatory notes. E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was a noted English author and critic and a member of the Bloomsbury group. His first novel, "Where Angels Fear To Tread" appeared in 1905. "The Longest Journey" appeared in 1907, followed by "A Room With A View" (1908), based partly on the material from extended holidays in Italy with his mother. "Howards End" (1910) was a story that centered on an English country house and dealt with the clash between two families, one interested in art and literature, the other only in business. "Maurice" was revised several times during his life, and finally published posthumously in 1971. If you enjoyed "Howard's End", you might like Forster's "A Room with a View", also available in "Penguin Classics".

读后感
这篇读后感，与其说是《Howards End》的读后感，不如说是我读过E.M.Foster的三本书（《Howards End》 、 《A Room with A View》和《Maurice》）, 看过一部他的电影（《印度之行》）之后的总结。 曾有朋友问我为何要看E.M.Foster的书， 我说这人的小说，就相当于中文中白先勇...
评分这次终于一口气读完了霍华德庄园，没有半途而废。这是一本非常简奥斯汀的小说，浓浓的英国古典风。优雅但是啰嗦，需要耐心。Margeret和Helen是一对有丰厚年金的姐妹。简奥斯汀笔下的Emma曾说过，有钱的大龄未婚女青年是不会寂寞的。她俩非常符合这个定义。每日艺术为伴，经常组...

评分 评分这本书我看了两遍，正如作品介绍里说的这不是一部关于爱情的小说。 福斯特在20世纪初的英国文坛享有很高的声誉。但这部他早期最好的小说让我产生了疑问，他真的有那么好吗？ 总的来说写得还可以，但不能进入文学史上伟大小说的行列。故事简单，人物单薄，用词无甚亮点，爱情...

福斯特的野心。
评分太多荒原梗。Echt deutsch, domestic French, Thames daughters, Goodbye×N, 艾略特快从实招来！
评分慢慢内心戏这是要溢出来啊，然后时不时作者还要来上画外音w对伦敦、英国、富有和中下阶层的很多语言非常犀利，扣掉一星是因为这样的风格把气氛冲淡了。和故园风雨后一个对比：故园围绕the past, the ruins ,而这本则是things to come ,非常有趣~
评分福斯特的野心。
评分电影没很看懂就找了小说来帮助理解。果然满满内心戏…………以及对London和Rich的那些语句简直字字见血给深跪。。。
