Howards End: Introduction by Alfred Kazin
First published in 1910, Howards End is the novel that earned E. M. Forster recognition as a major writer. Soon to be a limited series on Starz.
At its heart lie two families--the wealthy and business-minded Wilcoxes and the cultured and idealistic Schlegels. When the beautiful and independent Helen Schlegel begins an impetuous affair with the ardent Paul Wilcox, a series of events is sparked--some very funny, some very 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 the classes, Howards End is a novel whose central tenet, "Only connect," remains a powerful prescription for modern life.

Recensioner
Bättre än jag hade vågat hoppas på, men ångan går liksom ur hela historien någonstans på mitten och Forster förlorar stort i momentum. Slutet blir det liksom därmed inget med trots att det egentligen händer en himla massa. Men man får fortfarande ingen egentligen bra förklaring till varför Meg väljer stele Henry Wilcox.
