The story centers around three families; the Wilcoxes, who made their fortune in the American colonies; the Schlegels, three siblings who represent the intellectual bourgeoisie; and the Basts, a young struggling lower middle-class couple. «Howards End», one of Forster's greatest works, is a classic dramatization of the differences in life amongst the English middle class.
