Added Plot Summary[edit]

May need citations? Next visit, I will add a bulleted list of characters & their description; at some point, I may try to pull in some critical analyses by reviewers, esp. Forster's contemporaries, if I can find any.M. Buenviaje 03:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A Room with a View (band)[edit]

There a Spanish band named "A Room with a View" as well http://www.fiberfib.com/english/_press/en_grupo.php?grupo=87 -- 172.158.196.10 10:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another Allusion [?][edit]

The Emersons' last names were likely to be after Ralph Waldo Emerson. This is a quote by him:

Give all to love; obey thy heart. Ralph Waldo Emerson 'US essayist & poet (1803 - 1882)'

http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/1891.html

Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) lived before Forester (January 1, 1879 – June 7, 1970), so his doctrine could have influenced Forester. Melinfish 22:56, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

overhaul[edit]

Needed badly, awful english in mny places —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.11.77.198 (talk) 13:08, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rewritten part one summary as that was the worst- part two may need rewriting as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.67.71.107 (talk) 14:37, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Repressed" culture?[edit]

The setting of the novel is Edwardian English society. To describe that society as "repressed" is applying a very modern POV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.98.175.68 (talk) 01:18, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It would be POV the idea of repression since that topic is not necessarily expressed in the work, just that actions of the time were expressed. But what can be said of the theories of those practitioners of the time of the story line that expressed such ideas although they were less than conventionally accepted at the time? Certainly, suggestions of repression would be better relegated to a section of its own of the article so as to not imposed POV on the plot. Then all the matter that has been expressed on the subject of repression and anything in particular about the work can be included.Taikomochiyarichin (talk) 02:44, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
