«Where Angels Fear to Tread» is the classic novel by E. M. Forster, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (176 pages, in English).
A young English widow, Lilia, travels to Italy and marries a much younger Italian, to the scandal of the Herritons, her late husband's family. After Lilia's death, the Herritons send Philip and Harriet to retrieve the baby and bring him to England. The novel portrays with irony Victorian rigidity against Italian vitality.
The work was originally published in 1905; this 1969 edition belongs to the Penguin Modern Classics collection.
For readers of English classics and early twentieth-century social satire.
Edward Morgan Forster was an English author. He is best known for his novels, particularly A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). He also wrote numerous short stories, essays, speeches and broadcasts, as well as biographies and pageant plays. His short story "The Machine Stops" (1909) is often viewed as the beginning of technological dystopian fiction. He also co-authored the libretto to Benjamin Britten's opera Billy Budd (1951). Many of his novels examine class differences and hypocrisy. His views as a humanist are at the heart of his work.
