I love Forster though it is a long time since I have read any of his novels - I think the film of 'Howards End' is probably my favourite adaptation of his work, as Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson are both brilliant in it, but also love the films of 'Maurice' (all the people who say Hugh Grant can't act should watch this and think again!), 'A Room With a View' and 'Where Angels Fear to Tread' - also liked the more recent Andrew Davies version of 'A Room With a View'.Judyhttp://costumedramas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-26329255005411860102010-01-14T22:12:40.037+01:002010-01-14T22:12:40.037+01:00I've only read Room with a View in recent year...I've only read Room with a View in recent years, and Howards End so long ago it barely counts. I must read Forster again this year. I've also always thought he was particularly good at naming his novels, Where the Angels Fear to Tread comes to mind...<br /><br />Nice story about wowing your professor by showing evidence of reading outside of assigned materials!JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-75644302414020248242010-01-14T17:09:44.127+01:002010-01-14T17:09:44.127+01:00Thanks for this great write-up on Howard's End...Thanks for this great write-up on Howard's End! I must confess, I've never read the book but I love the film. I should probably rectify that situation someday. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-68983841769095073162010-01-14T14:09:37.482+01:002010-01-14T14:09:37.482+01:00I adore E.M.

I often think of Forster as Austen's best disciple, his work being much more like hers than that of the many female novelists who are so readily compared to her. Austen also addresses the pitfalls and advantages of the classes mingling, predicting the topic English writers' would struggle with for the next two hundred years. This was a lovely post - of course, pictures of Helena Bonham Carter never hurt!Alexa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086472405632748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-85998948592881321162010-01-14T13:52:12.649+01:002010-01-14T13:52:12.649+01:00Beautiful post, Maria Grazia!!!

I LOVE Howards End and A Room with a View.<br /><br />What a wonderful sentence: "the secret understanding of the hearts".<br /><br />BesosElvirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07277831648954508282noreply@blogger.com
