Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Howards End" by E. M. Forster is a novel published in 1910 about social conventions and relationships in turn-of-the-century England. Three families collide: the wealthy, conventional Wilcoxes; the intellectual Schlegel sisters; and the struggling Basts. When idealistic Margaret Schlegel befriends the Wilcox matriarch, she becomes entangled in questions of inheritance, class prejudice, and betrayal. As romantic connections and hidden secrets emerge, the fates of all three families intertwine around the country house called Howards End—a symbol of England's uncertain social future.
