Howards End

At the heart of E. M. Forster’s first major success lie two families: the wealthy and business-minded Wilcoxes and the cultured and idealistic Schlegels. When the beautiful and independent Helen Schlegel begins an impromptu affair with the ardent Paul Wilcox, a series of events is sparked—some funny, some tragic—that results in a dispute over who will inherit Howards End, the Wilcoxes’ charming country home.

As much about the clash between individual wills as the clash between the sexes and classes, Howards End is a novel whose central tenet, “Only connect,” remains a powerful prescription for modern life.
