Howards End by E.M. Forster

HOWARDS END is the story of an English country house and its influence on people from different classes and nations. The novel asks the question ''Who shall inherit England?'' On one hand are the Schlegel's, who care about civilized living, music, literature, and conversation with their friends; on the other, the Wilcoxes, concerned with the business side of life and distrustful of emotion and imagination.
