Abstract

A room with a view (1908), by E. M. Forster, features difficult questions on the codifications of gender in arts and their social continuities in Edwardian England. The aim of this work is to analyze some of those questions in the novel as well as describe some frames of resistance to gender conventions. Before that, we present a brief overview on the relations between gender and literary creation in early twentieth-century English literature.
