Where Angels Fear to Tread
ByPublisher Description
The E. M. Forster's book ''Where Angels Fear to Tread'' was published in 1905. The phrase "For fool's rush in where angels fear to tread" appears in Alexander Pope's essay on criticism, which serves as the source of the title. In 1966, the BBC produced a play of the month based on the book for television. Charles Sturridge turned it into a movie in 1991, with Rupert Graves, Giovanni Guidelli, Helen Mirren, Helena Bonham Carter, and Judy Davis in the lead roles. BBC Radio 4 aired a ten-part radio dramatization of the book. The Peabody Institute of Music hosted the world premiere of a Mark Weiser opera in 1999, while Opera San Jose had the opera's professional premiere in 2015. Her in-laws are not amused when the young English widow Lilia Herriton embarks on a world tour and weds an impoverished Italian while there. It is only natural that the marriage would break down and poor Lilia would pass very tragically. But Philip Harriton, his gloomy sister Harriet, and their well-intentioned acquaintance Miss Abbott must act quickly to correct Lilia's untimely pregnancy and the baby's upbringing as an Italian. The story's action starts at a train station, where Lilia Herriton is bidding farewell before leaving for an Italian vacation.
