A Room with a View, Where Angels Fear to Tread: Introduction

A Room with a View, Where Angels Fear to Tread: Introduction by Ann Pasternak Slater (Everyman's Library Contemporary Classics Series)

E. M. Forsterâ€™s beloved Italian novels, now in a single hardcover volume.

Forsterâ€™s most memorably romantic exploration of the liberating effects of Italy on the English, A Room with a View follows the carefully chaperoned Lucy Honeychurch to Florence. There she meets the unconventional George Emerson and finds herself inspired by his refreshingly free spiritâ€” which puts her in mind of â€œa room with a viewâ€â€”to escape the claustrophobic snobbery of her guardians back in England. The wicked tragicomedy Where Angels Fear to Tread chronicles a young English widowâ€™s trip to Italy and its messy aftermath. When Lilia Herriton impulsively marries a penniless Italian and then dies in childbirth, her first husbandâ€™s family sets out to rescue the child from his â€œuncivilizedâ€ surroundings. But in ways that they canâ€™t possibly imagine, their narrow preconceptions will be upended by the rich and varied charms of Forsterâ€™s cherished Italy.
