Project Gutenberg 2001-12-01 Public domain in the USA. 485 Forster, E. M. (Edward Morgan) 1879 1970 Forster, Edward Morgan Where Angels Fear to Tread Produced by Richard Fane, and David Widger "Where Angels Fear to Tread" by E. M. Forster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of culture clash and personal relationships through the story of Lilia Herriton, a young widow who embarks on a journey to Italy, leaving behind her strict English upbringing and family expectations. As Lilia travels, her choices lead to significant consequences for herself and those she loves, particularly her son Irma and her controlling mother-in-law, Mrs. Herriton. At the start of the novel, various relatives gather at Charing Cross to send Lilia off on her trip to Italy, highlighting not only her cheerful spirit but also the contrasting personalities of her family members who are concerned with proper conduct and societal norms. Lilia's interactions reveal her vibrant nature as she embraces her journey, yet reveal the controlling forces of her family back home. Philip, her brother-in-law, demonstrates both affection and concern through his advice while lamenting her eventual engagement to an Italian man, which stirs family tensions and forebodes conflict as the plot unfolds. In summary, the opening portion of the novel establishes the foundational relationships and cultural expectations that will be challenged as Lilia navigates her desire for personal freedom against the constraints imposed by her family.
