 | | Howards End, published in 1910, is usually considered one of Forster’s greatest novels, second only to A Passage to India (filmed by David Lean in 1984). |
 | | In his novel, Howards End is a metaphor for England itself: Forster sees it passing from the moneyed aristocracy (the Wilcoxes) to the bourgeoisie (the Schlegels), ever concerned and philanthropic in a somewhat patronising way to those less fortunate than themselves. |
 | | Howards End, along with the film which immediately followed it, The Remains of the Day, also marks a high water mark in Merchant Ivory’s public and critical profile. |
