Synopsis
HOWARDS END is a vivid portrait of life in Edwardian England, centered on an old country house in Hertfordshire, the object of an inheritance dispute. When the bohemian Schlegel sisters, Helen and Margaret, meet the Wilcox family, convention gives way to a more complex set of standards and emotions in this beloved and remarkable novel. The Schlegels are widely acknowledged to be based on Virginia Woolf and her sister Vanessa, who lived at Gordon Square with their brother Thoby (Tibby in the novel).

Industry Reviews
"...In "Howards End" there are, one feels..., all the qualities that are needed to make a masterpiece. The characters are extremely real to us. The ordering of the story is masterly. That indefinable but highly important thing, the atmosphere of the book, is alight with intelligence; not a speck of humbug, not an atom of falsity is allowed to settle. And again, but on a larger battlefield, the struggle goes forward which takes place in all Mr. Forster's novels -- the struggle between the things that matter and the things that do not matter, between reality and sham, between the truth and the lie. Again the comedy is exquisite and the observation faultless. But again, just as we are yielding ourselves to the pleasures of the imagination..., we are tapped on the shoulder....We step from the enchanted world of imagination, where our faculties work freely, to the twilight world of theory, where only our intellect functions dutifully. Such moments of disillusionment have the habit of coming when Mr. Forster is most in earnest, at the crisis of the book ..."
Atlantic Monthly - Virginia Woolf (11/19/1927)
"Thick with life, consummate in pace and plot, written in a tone of offhand elegance that is perfect to its subject, [HOWARDS END] also displays a knowledge of human nature, with its quirks, range and complexities, that attains to nothing less than wisdom."
New York Times Book Review - Joseph Epstein (10/10/1971)
"HOWARDS END...is a novel of high quality written with what appears to be a feminine brilliance of perception....There is an immense liberality in the book, a sympathy that is so little eclectic that it seems indulgent. It is always a humane presentment of real men and women even when their doings surprise us into some kind of protest."
Guardian (London) - A. N. M. (02/26/1910)
