Author Description

Unique Elements Author Biography About A Room with a View “Let yourself go. Pull out from the depths those thoughts that you do not understand, and spread them out in the sunlight and know the meaning of them.” Published by E.M. Forster in 1908, A Room with a View follows the story of Lucy Honeychurch, a well-to-do young woman living in the restrained culture of Edwardian era England. While on vacation in Italy, she finds her somewhat neatly ordered existence thrown off balance, when she meets and falls for the passionate, but conventionally unsuitable, George Emerson. With a cast of flamboyant and memorable characters, including romantic novelist Eleanor Lavish and the inconveniently observant Reverend Beebe, this delightful coming of age tale and social comedy satirizes English society's notions of class and respectability, and remains Forster’s best loved novel. An established and unmissable literary classic.
