Howards End 的知音：Peter Drucker{旁觀者的時代}等等；Forster's genius was quiet; Howard's End, E. M. Forster's classic 1910
大約30年前，看電影時一定漏掉許多。
這回，懂得更多：
Margaret saw their visitors to the gate. Then she returned to her husband and laid her head in his hands. He was pitiably tired. But Dolly’s remark had interested her. At last she said: “Could you tell me, Henry, what was that about Mrs. Wilcox having left me Howards End?”
Tranquilly he replied: “Yes, she did. But that is a very old story. When she was ill and you were so kind to her she wanted to make you some return, and, not being herself at the time, scribbled ‘Howards End’ on a piece of paper. I went into it thoroughly, and, as it was clearly fanciful, I set it aside, little knowing what my Margaret would be to me in the future.”
Margaret was silent. Something shook her life in its inmost recesses, and she shivered.
“I didn’t do wrong, did I?” he asked, bending down.
“You didn’t, darling. Nothing has been done wrong.”
From the garden came laughter. “Here they are at last!” exclaimed Henry, disengaging himself with a smile. Helen rushed into the gloom, holding Tom by one hand and carrying her baby on the other. There were shouts of infectious joy.
“The field’s cut!” Helen cried excitedly—“the big meadow! We’ve seen to the very end, and it’ll be such a crop of hay as never!”
WEYBRIDGE, 1908-1910.

這兩天看了迷你影集Howard's End，天哪。我要瘋了，太好看了。......
In November 2017, a four-part adaptation by Kenneth Lonergan was broadcast by the BBC. It was a co-production with US broadcaster Starz.

今天是Peter Drucker的生日，我在昨天的紀念會上忘記說這段，補上：
Peter Drucker 認為 Howards End 一書是 E. M. Forster (1879-1970)的小說中最偉大的，也是20世紀最細緻的英國散文作品。它可以作為英國階級系統的寓言；書中可見維繫社會的禮儀已開始瓦解了。小說中提到的德國表兄妹雖從未露面，但他們的醜陋、驕慢和目中無人的優越感卻是籠罩全書的陰影。 ({旁觀者的時代}，頁253)

Forster's genius was quiet; Howard's End, E. M. Forster's classic 1910
Both as a writer and as a moralist, E.M. Forster regarded the exploration of abstract forms and ideas as dubious, valuing messy humanity instead. Some regarded this as woolly thinking—a famous Cambridge critic, F.R. Leavis, believed his lectures were characterised by “intellectual nullity”. But the novelist—who died on June 7th 1970—was covertly sophisticated

"She lay under the earth now. She had gone, and as if to make her going the more bitter, had gone with a touch of mystery that was all unlike her."
—from HOWARDS END (1910) by E.M. Forster
“The tragedy of preparedness has scarcely been handled, save by the Greeks. Life is indeed dangerous, but not in the way morality would have us believe. It is indeed unmanageable, but the essence of it is not a battle. It is unmanageable because it is a romance, and its essence is romantic beauty.”
—from HOWARDS END (1910) by E.M. Forster
―from HOWARDS END (sic) by E.M. Forster
"I do like Christmas on the whole.... In its clumsy way, it does approach Peace and Goodwill. But it is clumsier every year."
~from "Howard's End" by E.M. Forster
First published in 1910, Howards End is the novel that earned E. M. Forster recognition as a major writer. At its heart lie two families—the wealthy and business-minded Wilcoxes and the cultured and idealistic Schlegels. When the beautiful and independent Helen Schlegel begins an impetuous affair with the ardent Paul Wilcox, a series of events is sparked—some very funny, some very tragic—that results in a dispute over who will inherit Howards End, the Wilcoxes' charming country home.

As much about the clash between individual wills as the clash between the sexes and the classes, Howards End is a novel whose central tenet, “Only connect,” remains a powerful prescription for modern life.

Howards End (1910) is an ambitious "condition-of-England" novel concerned with different groups within the Edwardian middle classes represented by the Schlegels (bohemian intellectuals), the Wilcoxes (thoughtless plutocrats) and the Basts (struggling lower-middle-class aspirants).
It is frequently observed that characters in Forster's novels die suddenly. This is true of Where Angels Fear to Tread, Howards End and, most particularly, The Longest Journey.
