Book Overview
Synopsis
In the novels he wrote at the turn of the twentieth century, E.M. Forster captured the temperament of England's upper-middle class and the tension of challenges to its stifling conventions. His tales of sophisticated socialites beguiled by uninhibited members of other classes and cultures, and of morally serious men and women struggling with their impulsive emotions, are among the most elegant and entertaining works of literature produced in the Edwardian era.
The four novels collected in this volume-Where Angels Fear to Tread, The Longest Journey, A Room with a View, and Howard's End-represent the best of Forster's early fiction. Distinguished by their wit and irony, and memorable for their sensitive character studies, they are the enduring legacy of an artist who has been hailed as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.
Biography
A graceful writer with a keen eye for the bittersweetness bound in differences of class and culture, E. M. Forster had an abbreviated but remarkably successful career as a novelist and established himself as one of England's most insightful 20th-century writers.

An excellent compilation featuring 4 of Forster's novels
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
"The Library of Essential Writers" series of books are affordable and beautiful editions, not to mention sturdy [they are all in hardcover] and number about 31 works in all. In this collection of E.M. Forster's 4 novels, the works are "Where Angels Fear to tread", "The Longest Journey", "A Room with a View", and "Howard's End". The works which are complete and unabridged are preceded by a brief introduction by author Brian Stableford. I'd also recommend reading "Aspects of the Novel" by E.M Forster [1956]
