Reading the book in class was rewarding as we talked about far meatier subjects than I might have tackled on my own: the industrial revolution which brought aspirants like Leonard Bast and Jacky, too, into the city from the farm and made money for others like the Wilcoxes; the rise of feminism for those with time and education to embrace it; the mystical, ghostliness of Mrs. Avery, the housekeeper at Howard's End; changing morals with the rest of the cultural & social changes occurring; the altered landscape of London and affordable housing at the expense of the countryside and large estates; and what kind of future for Baby who is assured of money, education and WWII(portents of doom from Germany). ( ) Only connect, forget about being poor and exploited, take the magnanimous point of view of the generationally wealthy, and kumbaya This is why this book doesn't talk to many readers. It's not the ego in ourselves but the humanity that is insulted. The exact opposite of Joyce and Proust, who wrote novels with apparently narrow foxus, and which yet speak to the whole humankind avout what it meand being human. Fun fact: Virginia Woolf, part of Forster's circle of upper class entitled literary would-be revolutionaries, couldn't stand Ulysses' brazen, proletarian approach to the description of the body and its everyday miraculous functions. A perfect snapchot of the fool missing the forest for the tree. Meh...I don't know how I really feel about this story. It was very predictable, for one, and I didn't at all like how it ended. I thought the Wilcoxes, with the exception of the first Mrs. Wilcox, were absolutely intolerable. I can't understand how Wilcox's second wife put up with his unapologetic selfishness and hypocrisy---she's a greater woman than I. I get it that Forster was trying to remain neutral, for the most part, but I don't think that's how modern readers see this story. I don't think the Schlegel's remained equal in the end and I think that's why it's left a sour taste in my mouth. What is actually very intriguing about this story is that it was published (only just) before the world wars would change England and Germany and the world's view of them and their view of the world forever. The emotions, actions and reactions that fueled this story don't exist in our world anymore, making it an excellent study in pre-war history.
"The season's great novel" "A fine novel" "My impression is that the writer is a woman of a quality of mind comparable to that of the Findlater sisters or to May Sinclair."

HTML: Howards End is a masterful discussion of changing social class-consciousness. Three families from different levels of society become intertwined: the rich capitalists, the intellectual bourgeoisie and the struggling poor. Forster does not suggest that relationships between the classes are easy, but he does think them vitally important. The social philosophy inherent in the novel is significant and beautifully written. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
