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 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. Merchant-Ivory produced an
award-winning film adaptation in 1985.
