E. M. Forster 
Howards End 

'Howards End’ is E. M. Forster’s classic story of the varying struggles of members of different strata of the English middle class. The story centers around three families; the Wilcoxes, who made their fortune in the American colonies; the Schlegels, three siblings who represent the intellectual bourgeoisie; and the Basts, a young struggling lower middle-class couple. 'Howards End’, one of Forster’s greatest works, is a classic dramatization of the differences in life amongst the English middle class.
