First edition, first printing, published by Arnold in 1908. 324pp + [1]-2,7-8 (ads). Bound in publisher's original ribbed maroon cloth. A very good copy with evidence of removal of previous owner's bookplate to the front pastedown with off-setting to the front endpaper with two file numbers to the top. Some fading to the spine and wear and rubbing to the edges and to the corners. Rough cut pages. Becoming very scarce indeed. The story follows Lucy Honeychurch, a young Englishwoman navigating societal expectations and romantic entanglements during her travels in Italy and England. Forster's novel critiques the constraints of Edwardian society. The film (1985), part of the Merchant Ivory productions, captures the essence of the book's social satire and romantic themes, earning critical acclaim for its faithful adaptation and lush cinematography. "A Room with a View" remains a classic exploration of love and societal norms in early 20th-century England.
