A Room with a View is a 1908 novel by
English writer E. M. Forster, about a young woman in the repressed
culture of Edwardian era England. Set in Italy and England,
the story is both a romance and a critique of English society
at the beginning of the 20th century.
In 1998, the Modern Library ranked A Room with a View 79th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
A Room with a View is also a 1985 British drama film directed by James
Ivory and produced by Ismail
Merchant. The film is a close adaptation
of E. M. Forster's novel and even uses his chapter titles to
divide the film into sections. It stars Maggie
Smith as "Charlotte Bartlett", Helena Bonham Carter as
"Lucy Honeychurch", Judi Dench as "Eleanor
Lavish", Julian Sands as "George
Emerson," Daniel Day-Lewis as "Cecil Vyse" and Simon
Callow as "The Reverend Mr. Beebe".
