Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Howards End" by E. M. Forster is a novel published in 1910. Three families collide in turn-of-the-century England: the wealthy capitalist Wilcoxes, the intellectual Schlegel sisters, and the struggling working-class Basts. When idealistic Margaret Schlegel befriends the Wilcox matriarch, a deathbed wish concerning the country house Howards End sets off a chain of events involving concealed inheritances, broken engagements, financial ruin, and forbidden affairs. Their intertwined fates will ultimately determine who inherits England's social future.
