How to Read E. M. Forsters Howards End
An introduction to the major themes of Forster\u2019s 1910 novel of modern life. It\u2019s the story of two sisters, Helen and Margaret Schlegel, and their relationships with the Wilcox family, headed by its patriarch Henry Wilcox: a successful industrial capitalist, who has neither the Schlegels\u2019 values of literature and art, nor sympathy for the lower classes of men like Leonard Bast, who aspires to those higher values.
