| Abstract | "This updated edition of E.M. Forster's 1908 classic renders A Room With a View newly accessible to contemporary readers. Meticulously detailed footnotes and thoughtfully chosen appendices bring the early-20th century Florence of the novel to life. Contemporary reviews of the book, along with relevant essays and other non-fiction writings by Forster and his contemporary, Virginia Woolf, add helpful literary and historical context. Most strikingly, however, Saloman's introduction puts ambivalent heroine's Lucy's Honeychurch's murky search for independence and romance in direct conversation with #MeToo and other recent movements. Readers cannot help but root for the young couple championing love and freedom. Yet A Room With a View deliberately resists the easy satisfactions of a happy ending. Instead, Forster leaves us with the uneasy sense that there is more to the story, and it is our job to discover it in the nuanced twists and turns of his narrative."-- Provided by publisher. |
