About This Item
Hardback. New. <p><i>Where Angels Fear to Tread</i> (1905) is a novel by English author E.M. Forster. The work was Forsterâs first novel, and its success helped launch his lengthy and critically acclaimed career as a writer of literary fiction. <i>Where Angels Fear to Tread</i>âthe title is drawn from Alexander Popeâs <i>An Essay on Criticism</i> (1711)âis a moving meditation on class, gender, social convention, and the grieving process.</p> <p>Following the death of her husband, a widow named Lilia Herriton travels to Tuscany with her friend Caroline Abbott. In Italy, Lilia falls in love with a young Italian named Gino, with whom she decides to remain. This prompts a fierce backlash among members of her deceased husbandâs family, who privilege their honor and name over Liliaâs happiness. Although they send Philip, her brother-in-law, to Italy in order to retrieve her, Lilia has already married Gino, and is pregnant with their child. When she dies in childbirth, however, a fight ensues over the care of the boy, whom the Herritons want to be raised as an Englishman in their midst. Philip returns to Italy with his sister Harriet, meeting Caroline and devising a plan to wrest control of the boy from Gino, a loving and caring father. <i>Where Angels Fear to Tread</i> is a novel that traces the consequences of selfish decisions, the politics of family life, and the social conventions which hold women prisoner to those who claim to support them. The novel was an immensely successful debut for Forster, who would go on to become one of Englandâs most popular and critically acclaimed novelists of the twentieth century.</p> <p>With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E.M. Forsterâs <i>Where Angels Fear to Tread</i> is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.</p>
