More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In the first part of the book Malcolm Page surveys some of the major criticism of the novel, "Howards End" by E.M. Forster. Page looks at approaches such as feminism and Marxism, considers questions of tone, whether or not the conclusion is satisfying, and discusses negative comments made about several major characters. His own interpretation is given in the second half, where he looks at such strengths as personal relations, Beethoven, old houses and the beauty of nature, and finally at such key ideas as "only connect". Malcolm Page is also the author of "John Arden" and "Richard II".

A very accessible overview of what the critics have to say.
8 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
Malcolm Page's slender volume is a very accessible work. It moves around the various criticism that 'Howards End' has received over the years. Page's survey of the criticism is handled sensibly and is a very good starting point for wider reading about the author and his novel. His own critical voice is a very balanced one and Page adopts a reasonable stance on a writer who seems to attract fairly extreme reactions. Of particular note is the short section dealing with E.M.Forster and feminism. This section illustrates Page's ability to survey the criticism and then offer an informed opinion. Overall, this volume serves as a very useful starting point for a study of the novel.
