A sharp and satirical work of classic British fiction, Where Angels Fear to Tread chronicles the collision of English propriety and Italian passion when young widow Lilia Herriton scandalises her family by marrying a handsome young Italian man during a trip to Tuscany. After Lilia's death, her stiff, respectable English relatives mount an ill-fated rescue mission to retrieve her infant son from the small Italian town of Monteriano, convinced they are acting in the child's best interests. Forster presents with piercing irony the cultural arrogance and emotional repression of Edwardian England set against the warmth and vitality of Italian life. Written in 1905, this debut novel establishes the themes of personal freedom versus social convention that would define Forster's celebrated literary career, making it an essential and enduring classic of English literature.
