This review is from: Lucy Novels: Early Sketches for "A Room with a View" (His The Abinger edition of E.M. Forster) (Hardcover)

This book was printed in no more than 1000 copies but that is exactly as many potential buyers there were on the market when it first (and probably last) appeared. The only people who could be interested are students and scholars writing on Forster, all the rest may move on to the final version: "A Room with a View". To that small group, however, this little book is a priceless treasure revealing how Forster struggled with his material, how he corrected and rewrote his first novelistic attempt until it became "maybe not the best but the best liked" in his own words.
