Con su tercera novela titulada On Beauty (2003), Zadie Smith se ha consolidado como una
de las escritoras de más renombre de la literatura inglesa actual. Parte de su éxito radica en la
recreación de ciertos aspectos de Howards End (1910), de E.M. Forster. En el presente artículo
nos proponemos analizar algunas de las conexiones más destacadas entre ambas obras.
Zadie Smith’s On Beauty (2003) has confirmed her reputation as one of the most acclaimed
contemporary British novelists. Her success derives partly from her hommage to E.M. Forster
by means of recreating some of his characters and situations from Howards End (1910) in
her narrative. The aim of this paper is to offer a review of the main connections between
these two novels.
