Forster, E. M.: 1879-1970

A Room with a View, 1908 - Language/Style

  • English Language Level: Challenging
    • Formal Sentence Structure – Sentences are often long, with multiple clauses.

      Archaic or Elevated Vocabulary – Words and expressions aren’t commonly used today.

      Subtle Social Commentary – The humor, irony, and critique of class and manners require careful reading to fully understand.

      Indirect Style – Characters often hint at feelings rather than stating them outright, which can make comprehension harder.

  • While the plot is straightforward, the language and style demand a higher reading level.
