M. Forster. Both are stories of extreme contrasts— in values, social class and cultural perspectives. Romantic relationships lead to conventional happiness in the delightful social comedyA Room With a View, and to unexpected scandal in the richer, deeply moving novelHowards End. Howards End, which rivalsA 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, there two novels have become twentieth-century classics. With an Introduction and Bibliography by Benjamin Demott 《看得见风景的房间》是20世纪英国小说巨匠爱德华·摩根·福斯特重要的代表作，亦是他颇为优美、清新的自由爱情篇章。一位出身英国书香之家的大家闺秀露西在佛罗伦萨旅行时，遇到英国青年乔治，乔治对她的倾慕令她禁不住心动，当露西和乔治在英国重逢后，露西的真情一发不可收拾，最后她冲破传统束缚，解除既定的婚约，选择了跟她相爱的乔治，有情人终成眷属。 《霍华德庄园》通常被认为是福斯特成熟、优秀的早期作品。小说围绕家产继承权和女主人公的婚姻铺叙了一个传统的“故事”。但是，在更重要的层面上，这是一部有关英国以及人类文明的寓言。小说象征结构的中心是一所被称为“霍华德庄园”的房子，它与书中主要女性人物密切关联，代表着与传统农业相联系、根植于家乡土地并与大自然和谐共处的生存方式，也代表着古老英国的土地资产和精神传统。 This volume features two of Forster’s most celebrated works,A Room with a View andHowards End.A Room with a View tells the story of a young Englishwoman travelling abroad who must grapple with sexual repression and the insatiable expectations of her peers. In a more domestic setting,Howards End tells the story of several families whose varying wealth and social esteem illustrates the many intricacies of class relations in turn-of-the-century London. Both works of sociological significance, these novels perfectly illustrate Forster’s preoccupation with class difference and social hypocrisy. 福斯特（E. M. Forster，1879-1970），英国著名小说家和批评家。出生在伦敦，少年时期在特恩布里奇公学上学，成年后进入剑桥大学国王学院，后成为该院的荣誉研究员，被认为是英国二十世纪最杰出的小说家和批评家。作品有《天使不敢涉足的地方》（1905）、《最漫长的旅程》（1907）、《看得见风景的房间》（1908）、《霍华德庄园》（1910）、《印度之行》（1924）和去世后出版的《莫里斯》（1971）；还有两个短篇小说集，以及广受欢迎的文学批评专著《小说面面观》（1927）。他的作品既有完整的故事，又富有象征手法，因此一直拥有广大的读者群。他曾十三次被提名为诺贝尔文学奖候选人，并有五部小说改编成为电影，为他赢得了更广泛的声誉。 E. M. FORSTER is one of the major novelists of the first half of the twentieth century. He was born in 1879 and educated at King’s College, Cambridge, where he was for a time a Fellow. His first novel,Where Angels Fearto Tread, was published in 1905 and was quicklyfollowed byThe Longest Journey (1901),A Room With a View (1908), andHowards End (1910) which received wide attention. In 1924, the highly acclaimed A Passage 10 India, based on Forster’s first-hand observations of Indian life, appeared. His other works include collections of short stories and essays, a volume of criticism, the libretto for Benjamin Britten’s operaBilly Budd, a film script, and a study of Virginia Woolf. In 1953, Forster was awarded membership in the Order of Companions of Honour by Queen Elizabeth II. On his ninetieth birthday, in 1969, he received the Order of Merit, the highest distinction outside of political rank that a British sovereign can bestow. He died in Coventry, England, on June 7, 1970. Benjamin DeMottwas a professor of English at Amherst College and a frequent contributor. ToThe New York Times Book Review,Atlantic Monthly, and other publications. His writings also include the Introduction to the Signet Classic edition ofSons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence. Miss Bartlett was unequal to the bath. All her barbed civilities came forth wrong end first. Young Mr. Emerson scored a notable triumph to the delight of Mr. Beebe and to the secret delight of Lucy. “Poor young man!” said Miss Bartlett, as soon as he had gone. “How angry he is with his father about the rooms! It is all he can do to keep polite.” “In half an hour or so your rooms will be ready,” said Mr. Beebe. Then looking rather thoughtfully at the two cousins, he retired to his own rooms, to write up his philosophic diary. “Oh, dear!” breathed the little old lady, and shuddered as if all the winds of heaven had entered the apartment. “Gentlemen sometimes do not realize—” Her voice faded away, but Miss Bartlett seemed to understand and a conversation developed, in which gentlemen who did not thoroughly realize played a principal part. Lucy, not realizing either, was reduced to literature. Taking up Baedeker’s Handbook to Northern Italy, she committed to memory the most important dates of Florentine History. For she was determined to enjoy herself on the morrow. Thus the half-hour crept profitably away, and at last Miss Bartlett rose with a sigh, and said: “I think one might venture now. No, Lucy, do not stir. I will superintend the move.” “How you do do everything,” said Lucy. “Naturally, dear. It is my affair.” “But I would like to help you.” “No, dear.” Charlotte’s energy! And her unselfishness! She had been thus all her life, but really, on this Italian tour, she was surpassing herself. So Lucy felt, or strove to feel. And yet – there was a rebellious spirit in her which wondered whether the acceptance might not have been less delicate and more beautiful. At all events, she entered her own room without any feeling of joy. “I want to explain,” said Miss Bartlett, “why it is that I have taken the largest room. Naturally, of course, I should have given it to you; but I happen to know that it belongs to the young man, and I was sure your mother would not like it.” Lucy was bewildered. “If you are to accept a favour it is more suitable you should be under an obligation to his father than to him. I am a woman of the world, in my small way, and I know where things lead to. However, Mr. Beebe is a guarantee of a sort that they will not presume on this.” “Mother wouldn’t mind, I’m sure,” said Lucy, but again had the sense of larger and unsuspected issues. Miss Bartlett only sighed, and enveloped her in a protecting embrace as she wished her good-night. It gave Lucy the sensation of a fog, and when she reached her own room she opened the window and breathed the clean night air, thinking of the kind old man who had enabled her to see the lights dancing in the Arno and the cypresses of San Miniato, and the foot-hills of the Apennines, black against the rising moon. Miss Bartlett, in her room, fastened the window-shutters and locked the door, and then made a tour of the apartment to see where the cupboards led, and whether there were any oubliettes or secret entrances. It was then that she saw, pinned up over the washstand, a sheet of paper on which was scrawled an enormous note of interrogation. Nothing more. “What does it mean?” she thought, and she examined it carefully by the light of a candle. Meaningless at first, it gradually became menacing, obnoxious, portentous with evil. She was seized with an impulse to destroy it, but fortunately remembered that she had no right to do so, since it must be the property of young Mr. Emerson. So she unpinned it carefully, and put it between two pieces of blotting-paper to keep it clean for him. Then she completed her inspection of the room, sighed heavily according to her habit, and went to bed. 1234567
