A Room with a View (e. M. Forster Series)
About This Novel
"A Room with a View" is one of Forster's most important full-length masterpieces and his most beautiful and refreshing declaration of free love. It ranks 79th on the list of "The 100 Best English Novels of the 20th Century" by the famous Random House "Modern Library". The novel tells the love story between Lucy, a middle-class lady from a scholarly British family, and George, a young British man. The two met while traveling in Florence and fell in love at first sight, but experienced many twists and turns due to traditional British customs. Lucy is always in a conflict between the control and oppression of her by patriarchal ideas and the awakening and resistance of her female self-awareness. In the end, she breaks the tradition and the lovers finally get married. "A Room with a View" is the most famous of Forster's "Italian novels". It praises the brave pursuit and eager yearning for love and free life of awakened women, and profoundly exposes the pride and prejudice of the British middle and upper classes.
