　　This Edwardian social comedy explores love and prim propriety
among an eccentric cast of characters assembled in an Italian
pensione and in a corner of Surrey, England. A charming young
English woman, Lucy Honeychurch, faints into the arms of a fellow
Britisher when she witnesses a murder in a Florentine piazza.
Attracted to this man, George Emerson--who is entirely unsuitable
and whose father just may be a Socialist--Lucy is soon at war with
the snobbery of her class and her own conflicting desires. Back in
England she is courted by a more acceptable, if stifling, suitor,
and soon realizes she must make a startling decision that will
decide the course of her future: she is forced to choose between
convention and passion. The enduring delight of this tale of
romantic intrigue is rooted in Forster's colorful characters,
including outrageous spinsters, pompous clergymen and outspoken
patriots. Written in 1908, A Room With A View is one of E.M.
Forster's earliest and most celebrated works.</p>

　　A ROOM WITH A VIEW depicts a young Englishwoman's adventure trying to come to grips with the conflict between her desires and society's expectations. Lucy Honeychurch is a well-bred young middle class girl on holiday in radiant Florence. She comes from a family overconcerned with respectability and is therefore overprotected by a dessicated spinster named Charlotte Bartlett. One wonders if Forster had in mind a more famous Charlotte B. when he drew Lucy's protector, a woman "much discomfited by [any] unpleasant scene[s]." Forster playfully tosses barbs at this don't-let-the-servants-hear-you world the English try to maintain on foreign soil. Less playful with sanctimonious Puritans or hypocritical clergymen, Forster lets them foil themselves.
