"A Room With a View" is a novel penned by E.M. Forster, first published in 1908. Set both in England and Italy, the narrative centers on the young Lucy Honeychurch and her development from a repressed and naive woman into a more self-assured and liberated individual. The story commences with Lucy's travels in Italy, where she meets George Emerson, a man who challenges her traditional Victorian values. After returning to England, Lucy finds herself torn between her attraction to George and her engagement to the conventional Cecil Vyse. Throughout the narrative, Forster delves into themes of love, societal conventions, self-realization, and the contrast between the repressive English society and the liberating effect of the Italian landscape.

Captain Frederick Marryat (10 July 1792 - 9 August 1848) was a Royal Navy officer, a novelist, and an acquaintance of Charles Dickens. He is noted today as an early pioneer of nautical fiction, particularly for his semi-autobiographical novel Mr Midshipman Easy (1836). He is remembered also for his children's novel The Children of the New Forest (1847), and for a widely used system of maritime flag signalling known as Marryat's Code.
EQUALITY AT SEA: The next morning Jack Easy would have forgotten all about his engagement with the captain, had it not been for the waiter, who thought that after the reception which our hero had given the first lieutenant, it would be just as well that he should not be disrespectful to the captain.
