Skaggs 520 $a "Though both Willa Cather and E.M. Forster have been alternately praised as progressives and criticized as conservatives, the novels of both writers embody the tenets of liberal humanism, while at the same time reflecting the tensions associated with modernism (though both of these terms have come under intense critical scrutiny in recent years.) And while a few critics have offered brief comparisons of individual works or particular tendencies of Cather and Forster, none has provided the systematic comparative analysis of the relationship between liberal humanist/modernist tensions and the search for transcendence in their work that this book aims to provide. The principal aims of the present study are to locate the imagined alternatives to the "lamentable present" embodied in the novels of both writers and to explore how literature and the arts might assist in transcending the deficiencies and disunities of life in the modern era"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 125-132) and index. 505 0 $a The atmosphere of transatlantic liberalism -- Finding a voice: The song of the lark and A room with a view -- Rooms with/out views: the poetics of space in Howards end and The professor's house -- Mosque, cathedral, temple, cave: religion as architecture in Death comes for the archbishop and A passage to India -- "The unseen things in the hidden places of the Earth": The D.H.
