A Room with a View: Complete Text with Integrated Study Guide from Shmoop

You get the full original text of this play interwoven with a smart, plain-spoken guide to the characters, quotes, themes, symbols, and more from Shmoop.In Room with a View, E. M. Forster tells the story of a romance that blossoms in Italy and England during the Edwardian era. Forster joyfully critiques English middle-class society, while simultaneously remaining sympathetic to his characters. A Room with a View was the first novel Forster had ever started writing, but it was published in 1908, after he’d already written and published two other books. One of those books, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), is often paired with Room with a View, since it also takes place in Italy and examines some similar issues and ideas, such as the British tourist abroad. All in all, A Room with a View stands out as Forster’s most gleeful and optimistic work, and his dry wit and sharp, observant eye make for one smart and fun romantic comedy.Designed exclusively for Kindle readers, Shmoop Classics for Kindle offer the original text of some of the greatest works of literature with a built-in interactive guide to help you dig deep into the characters, symbols, themes, and big questions of the play.
