Only “n A Room with a View Forster takes up the fragments contrasting Italy and England which are found in the early ‘Lucy novels’ and brings them to a successful conclusion” (Cavaliero 93). But he stopped working on it for some time, and a few years passed before he dealt again with it. This work is known as the ‘Lucy novel’ or the ‘Lucy fragments’. Immediately after his return from Italy and Greece Edward Morgan Forster took up the work with a novel that can be considered as the prototype of A Room with a View. His novels Where Angels Fear to Tread and A Room with a View are often referred to as Forster’s ‘Italian novels’. It is considered as one of Forster’s major novels, and “t is probably his most well-liked novel, perhaps because (with the dubious exception of Maurice) it is the only one to have a happy ending” (Cavaliero 93). The novel A Room with a View by Edward Morgan Forster was published in 1908. The Impact of Italy on the Development of Lucy Honeychurch ![]() The Attitude of English Residents in ItalyĤ.
