E. M. Forster
Where Angels Fear To Tread
“He had known so much about her once -what she thought, how she felt, the reasons for her actions. And now he only knew that he loved her, and all the other knowledge seemed passing from him just as he needed it most.”
Like his immensely popular novel A Room with a View, E. M. Forster's Where Angels Fear to Tread focuses on a group of English men and women living and traveling in Italy. The title comes from a line in Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism: "For fools rush in where angels fear to tread".
In this domestic comedy, Forster juxtaposes the confines of respectable English life with a pulsating Italian village. His message is that living life requires more than intellectual observation and aesthetic appreciation; it requires passionate human connection and engagement.
Forster raises questions about individual happiness and desire and explores how they are circumscribed and defined by the social and cultural realities of one’s life.
This new digital edition includes an E. M. Forster image gallery as well as a link to a free audio recording of Where Angels Fear To Tread.
