Reading Forster’s novel and Ivory’s film together gives a stunning opportunity
to re-assess the representation of Pre-World War One modernity. Far from
presenting Edwardian England as a golden period, Howards End explores social
structures, social mobility, real estate, the ambivalent relation to culture
and new technological modes of communication and transport. Stylistically, the
novel breaks new ground with its Protean narrative voice, and transitions
towards Modernism with its mythic, musical method. The eponymous house becomes
a metaphor for ecological balance, a new kind of extended family structure, a
network of connections and a new sense of community. If Howards End as a novel
reinvents literary legacy and redefines personal and national heritage,
Ivory’s adaptation must also be reassessed as so-called heritage cinema, far
from the clichés of a purely aesthetic approach. It is no period piece or
marketable commodity meant to toe a conservative line, but a carefully woven
creative transposition, which also raises social and gendered questions.
