KNOW THYSELF: SELF-REVELATION IN A ROOM WITH A VIEW

E.M. Forster’s novel A Room with a View, published in 1908, narrates the story of a young upper middle class woman, Lucy Honeychurch who spends some time in Italy with her older cousin, Charlotte and learns a few things about life and music. This novel brings together a few English characters and Italians to interact, to exchange their respective cultures and to play out one of the favourite themes of Forster – cross-cultural understanding.
