"While her lips talked culture, her heart was planning to invite him to tea." With this line, British author E. M. Forster captures the sharp tension between appearance and intent in his acclaimed novel Howards End (1910). The book offers a penetrating exploration of social conventions, class divisions, and cultural ideals in turn-of-the-century England. Ranked 38th on the Modern Library’s list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century (1998), Howards End follows the intertwined lives of three very different families: the wealthy, colonial-minded Wilcoxes; the idealistic, half-German Schlegel siblings—Margaret, Helen, and Tibby—who share the liberal values of the Bloomsbury Group; and the struggling, lower-class Bast couple, who face daily hardship. As the Schlegel sisters attempt to help the Basts and challenge the Wilcoxes' ingrained prejudices, Forster weaves a richly layered story of social change, empathy, and human connection. Beautifully written and intricately plotted, Howards End remains a timeless portrait of pre-war English society and its moral complexities.
