The story of a house and two sisters, Howards End is also a subtle meditation on national, sexual and social identities. If the contrasting temperaments of the heroines often recall Sense and Sensibility, the comparison with Jane Austen is fully justified by the power of Forster’s irony and the brilliance of his wit.
