Where Angels Fear to Tread

Where Angels Fear to Tread is E M Forster`s classic novel about the seductive power of Italy and the clash between Italian and Edwardian English values. It is amongst the greatest 20th-century literary explorations of vice, virtue and the nature of prejudice. When attractive, impulsive English widow Lilia takes a holiday in Italy, she causes a scandal by marrying Gino, a dashing and highly unsuitable Italian twelve years her junior. Her prim, snobbish in-laws make no attempts to hide their disapproval, and when Lilia`s decision eventually brings disaster, her English relatives embark on an expedition to face the uncouth foreigner. But when they are confronted by the beauty of Italy and the charm and vitality of the disreputable Gino, they are forced to examine their own narrow lives, and their reactions are emotional, violent and unexpected.This edition reproduces the Abinger text, and also includes further reading notes, a chronology, an introduction by Ruth Padel discussing division and culture clash in the novel and an appendix detailing an exchange about the novel between Forster and the poet R C Trevelyan.
