Description
A clear, vibrant portrait of life in Edwardian England, Howards End deals with personal relationships and conflicting values. On the one hand are the Schlegel sisters, Margaret and Helen, and their brother Tibby, who care about civilized living, music, literature, and conversation with their friends; on the other, the Wilcoxes, Henry and his children Charles, Paul and Evie, who are concerned with the business side of life and distrust emotions and imagination. Howards End is a charming country house in Hertfordshire, which belonged to Henry Wilcox's first wife and which becomes the object of an inheritance dispute between the Wilcox family and Schlegel sisters. Through romantic entanglements, disappearing wills, and sudden tragedy, the conflict over the house emerges as a symbolic struggle for England's very future.
