Howards End Introduction by Alfred Kazin

<p>First published in 1910, <i>Howards End</i> is the novel that earned E. M. Forster recognition as a major writer. Soon to be a limited series on Starz.<br><br>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. <br><br>As much about the clash between individual wills as the clash between the sexes and the classes, <i>Howards End</i> is a novel whose central tenet, "Only connect," remains a powerful prescription for modern life.<br><br>Introduction by Alfred Kazan</p><p>(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)</p>
