Howard's End, published in 1910 to a chorus of praise, expresses, more perhaps than any other of his novels, themes close to Forster's heart.
In this story of two sisters and their very different paths in life Forster voiced many of his apprehensions about the future, and it has become more relevant than ever as a statement of humane, civilised values, while its subtle characterisation, its blend of irony and lyricism, its humour and its welath of unobtrusive symbols, make it one of the great English novels.
