更具体来说，福斯特《霍华德庄园》里的情节被巧妙地重建了，为《论美》的很多故事线索提供了支撑。

He published six long novels altogether, among which Howards End is generally regarded as his masterpiece and has always been the most controversial of his novels.

他一生共写了六部长篇小说，《霍华德庄园》一直被公认为是他的代表作，而且是他的作品中最引人争议的一部。

As one of Forster's two best-known works, Howards End explores the irreconcilability of class differences with the analysis of the social reality and human civilization.

而在其深层的层面上，小说探讨了阶级差别所造成的不可调和的矛盾，剖析了英国社会现实以及人类文明的命运问题。

By then he was no longer a publishing novelist, despite the success he had enjoyed with "a Room with a View", "Howards End" and his final masterpiece, "a Passage to India", which came out in 1924.

当时他已不再出版小说，尽管《看得见风景的房间》、《霍华德庄园》和1924年最后一本杰作《印度之行》大获成功。
