    Forster. Both are stories of extreme contrasts--in values, social class and cultural perspectives. Romantic relationships lead to conventional happiness in the delightful social comedy A Room with a View, and to unexpected scandal in the richer, deeply moving novel Howards End.Howards End, which rivals A Passage to India as Forster's greatest work, makes a country house in Hertfordshire the center and the symbol for what Lionel Trilling called a class war about who would inherit England. Commerce clashes with culture, greed with gentility.A Room with a View brings home the stuffiness of upper-middle-class Edwardian society in a tremendously funny comedy that pairs a well-bred young lady with a lusty railway clerk and satirizes both the clergy and the English notion of respectability.Quintessentially British, these two novels have become twentieth-century classics. With an introduction and bibliography by Benjamin DeMott.

(An "R. M." is a "Resident Magistrate" -- an appointment from England to an Irish provincial judgeship.)Somerville and Ross are masters of dialog and the shades and textures of life among the varying classes and of the amusements of life in the Irish Countryside. These works are classics of sophisticated comic writing, depicting the splodding efforts of a somewhat "slow on the uptake" English "gentleman" to keep his balance and dignity amongst the goings-on of a population of characters of a decidedly different perspective.This work was the basis for an acclaimed BBC series.
