Brief Description: The text is that of the first English edition (1910), published by Edward Arnold. It is accompanied by textual annotations and a textual appendix. Marc Notes: Only connect--; Includes bibliographical references (p. 471-473). Publisher Marketing: This edition of Forster's classic novel reprints the authoritative text of the 1973 Abinger Edition together with five critical essays -- especially prepared for this volume -- that read "Howards End" from five contemporary critical perspectives. Each critical essay is accompanied by a succinct introduction to the history, principles, and practice of the critical perspective and by a bibliography that promotes further exploration of that approach. Publisher Marketing: "Backgrounds and Sources" presents a rich selection of Forster s previously unpublished journals and letters and his working notes, which bring readers into the long and painstaking creative process that culminated in Howards End. "Criticism" presents a superb selection of critical writing about the novel. The critics include Edward Garnett, A. C. Benson, Katherine Mansfield, Frieda Lawrence, D. H. Lawrence, and Virginia Woolf, and six interpretations by Wilfred Stone, Barbara Rosecrance, Perry Meisel, Kenneth Graham, Elizabeth Langland, and Fredric Jameson. A debate on the successes and shortcomings of cinematic adaptation is presented through "Reviews of the Merchant-Ivory Film." Review Citations:
