Thus as Forster sets in motion a chain of events that will entangle three different families, he brilliantly portrays their aspirations to personal and social harmony. When Mrs Wilcox dies, her family discovers that she wants to leave her country home, Howards End, to Margaret. As clear-eyed Margaret develops a friendship with Mrs Wilcox, the impetuous Helen brings into their midst a young bank clerk named Leonard Bast, who lives at the edge of poverty and ruin. Forster's meticulously observed drama of class warfare exploringthe conflict inherent within English society-the inspiration for the award-winning two-part play The Inheritance, now on Broadway "Only connect." A chance acquaintance brings together the preposterous bourgeois Wilcox family and the clever, cultured and idealistic Schlegel sisters.
