Where Angels Fear to Tread: Bewerkt met aantekeningen door Oliver Stallybrass

When attractive English widow Lidia travels to Italy, she marries Gino, a much younger Italian, triggering snobbery and disapproval from her relatives. E.M. Forster’s Where Angels Fear to Tread is explored for its depictions of vice, virtue and prejudice, with scholarly notes and an introduction that situate the novel within cultural conflicts. The story follows love, family expectations and the consequences of crossing social boundaries, as English characters confront their own judgments on foreign customs.

This edition reproduces the Abinger text and adds further reading, a chronology and an introduction by Ruth Padel discussing division and culture clash. It also includes an appendix detailing an exchange about the novel between Forster and the poet R.C. Trevelyan, offering deeper context for readers.

E.M. Forster (1879-1970) was a prominent English author and critic, associated with the Bloomsbury group. The Penguin Classics edition presents the 1905 novel alongside extensive editorial support and historical notes.
