Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905) is a novel by English author E.M.
Forster. The work was Forster’s first novel, and its success
helped launch his lengthy and critically acclaimed career as a
writer of literary fiction. Where Angels Fear to Tread—the title
is drawn from Alexander Pope’s An Essay on Criticism (1711)—is
a moving meditation on class, gender, social convention, and the
grieving process. Following the death of her husband, a widow named
Lilia Herriton travels to Tuscany with her friend Caroline Abbott.
In Italy, Lilia falls in love with a young Italian named Gino, with
whom she decides to remain. This prompts a fierce backlash among
members of her deceased husband’s family, who privilege their
honor and name over Lilia’s happiness. Although they send Philip,
her brother-in-law, to Italy in order to retrieve her, Lilia has
already married Gino, and is pregnant with their child. When she
dies in childbirth, however, a fight ensues over the care of the
boy, whom the Herritons want to be raised as an Englishman in their
midst. Philip returns to Italy with his sister Harriet, meeting
Caroline and devising a plan to wrest control of the boy from Gino,
a loving and caring father. Where Angels Fear to Tread is a novel
that traces the consequences of selfish decisions, the politics of
family life, and the social conventions which hold women prisoner
to those who claim to support them. The novel was an immensely
successful debut for Forster, who would go on to become one of
England’s most popular and critically acclaimed novelists of the
twentieth century. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E.M. Forster’s
Where Angels Fear to Tread is a classic of English literature
reimagined for modern readers.
