![]() As their families begin butting heads in London, Helen, the younger Schlegel sister, runs in to Leonard Bast while at the opera. They befriend the Wilcoxes while on a trip abroad, and the lonely Wilcox matriarch and Margaret Schlegel, the strong-willed elder sister, strike up a friendship. The Schlegel siblings are sharp, intelligent, and idealistic, and they pursue culture and art with an enthusiasm reminiscent of the Bloomsbury group. The plot revolves around three families in Edwardian England: the Schlegels, a trio of half-German, middle-class siblings who to poor people seem rich, but to rich people seem poor the Wilcoxes, a large, wealthy family of businessmen and the Basts, a lower class young couple struggling to keep up appearances. Howards End, published in 1910, is considered by many to be Forsterâs masterpiece.
