A Room With a View, (Paperback)

<p>A Room With a View</p><p>A <strong>Room With</strong> a View, perhaps <strong>E</strong>. <strong>M. Forster</strong>'s lightest novel, was also one long in gestation-he began it as early as <strong>1901</strong>, and only published it in <strong>1908</strong>.In it we meet young <strong>Lucy Honeychurch</strong> and her cousin <strong>Charlotte Bartlett</strong>, who have gone on tour to Italy. During their stay they meet a series of interesting characters, including <strong>George Emerson</strong>, the son of an eccentric gentleman. The conflict between <strong>Lucy</strong>'s choice of the unusual <strong>George</strong>, or her more conventional English suitor <strong>Cecil</strong>, forms the crux of <strong>Forster</strong>'s critique of contemporary English society.Despite the novel being a societal critique, the prose is light and studded with <strong>Forster</strong>'s easy witticisms. In <strong>1958</strong> <strong>Forster</strong> added an appendix elaborating on what occurred to the main characters after the novel's end: the two world wars figure largely in their futures.A Room With a View</p><p>A <strong>Room With</strong> a View, perhaps <strong>E</strong>. <strong>M.
