Jonathan EmmesediI recently finished E.M. Forster's "A Room With A View". I can see why this is such a popular novel, as it marries an affirmation of a vitalistic escape from repressive mores to a sharply observed social comedy. What a joy it was to read!In its values it has something in common with D.H. Lawrence, but expressed with a wit and lightness of touch that one would search for in vain in the works of the Nottinghamshire author.Even though in our age of everybody being but two clicks away from hard porn the novel's kerfuffle about being kissed seems alien, Forster's observations about relations of power between men and women remain pertinent.I also enjoyed the rounded characterization of Miss Bartlett, Mr. Beebe, and Cecil Vyse. None of them are quite the flat predictable persons that one might expect on first encountering them in the novel.Anybody who is an expatriate, but Brits in particular, should pay attention not just to the tourists in Italy but also to Miss Lavish and the odious Mr Eager.A couple of more critical thoughts:- Like almost every reader, I was urging Lucy on to be honest with herself and others. Nevertheless, I wonder if in the century or so since the book was published whether a certain cant about " honesty" and "authenticity" has grown up that is as simplistic and repressive in its own way as the Victorian moralism that Forster and his Bloomsbury contemporaries liked to skewer.- As in "Howard's End", Forster turns a critical eye on those who depend on received wisdom about the arts and literature rather than getting in touch with life itself. I see what he's getting at, but I wonder if he is unwittingly sowing the seeds of an unpleasant anti-intellectual philistinism.<a href="https://c.im/tags/BritishLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BritishLiterature</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EMForster" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EMForster</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ARoomWithaView" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ARoomWithaView</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a>
