In a rapidly changing England, the lives of three families—the idealistic Schlegels, the wealthy Wilcoxes, and the struggling Basts—become intertwined. Through love, betrayal, and class conflict, they are bound by the fate of Howards End, a country house that represents both division and unity. E. M. Forster’s Howards End is a profound exploration of social class, relationships, and the complexities of human connection. E. M. Forster (1879–1970) was an English novelist, essayist, and social critic, best known for his works A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India. Forster’s novels often explore class differences, human connection, and the struggles between individual desires and societal expectations. His legacy endures as one of the most important British authors of the 20th century.
