"Howards End" is a novel by E. M. Forster, published in 1910, delving into social conventions and relationships in early 20th century England. The story revolves around three families: the wealthy Wilcoxes, the intellectual Schlegel siblings, and the impoverished Basts. The plot follows the intertwined lives of these families, involving engagements, misunderstandings, and social prejudices. The novel has been praised for its depiction of England's social and economic structure during the Edwardian period. The titular house, Howards End, symbolizes the disappearing world and the question of England's social future. Forster's childhood home, Rooks Nest, served as inspiration for Howards End. The novel has been adapted into various forms, including literature, theatre, television, film, radio, and even opera. "Howards End" has received critical acclaim and is considered one of the best English-language novels of the 20th century.
