HOWARDS END by E. M. FORSTER

“‘Howards End’ is packed full of good things. It stands out head and shoulders above the great mass of fiction now claiming a hearing. The autumn season has brought us some good novels, but this is, so far, the best of them. ‘Howards End’ raises its author to a place among contemporary novelists which few even of those whose earlier work shows promise succeed in attaining.”—Daily Mail. “There is no doubt about it whatever. Mr. E. M. Forster is one of the great novelists. His stories are not about life. They are life. His plots are absorbing because his characters are real. All will agree as to the value of the book, as to its absorbing interest, the art and power with which it is put together, and they will feel with us that it is a book quite out of the common by a writer who is one of our assets, and is likely to be one of our glories.”—Daily Telegraph. “Mr. E. M. Forster has now done what critical admirers of his foregoing novels have confidently looked for—he has written a book in which his highly original talent has found full and ripe expression. A very remarkable and original book.”—The Times. “The clash of modern culture and modern materialism has seldom found a more vivid interpreter.”—Spectator. “There is life, imagination, and the very flame of action giving quality to this novel over and above the technique with which it is built up and the wisdom with which it is informed.”—Daily News. “With this book Mr. Forster seems to us to have arrived, and if he never writes another line, his niche should be secure.”—Standard. “‘Howards End’ is a novel of high talent—the highest.”—Daily Graphic. “This novel, taken with its three predecessors, assures its author a place amongst the handful of living writers who count.”—Athenæum.
