About the book

Thomas Hardy's A Laodicean centres on Paula Power, a wealthy young woman who inherits a medieval castle and becomes caught between modern progress and the traditions represented by the ancient estate. Her romantic choices are similarly divided, particularly between the architect George Somerset and the aristocratic Captain De Stancy. Hardy combines romance, architecture and questions of social change to explore modernity, inheritance, class and uncertainty in a rapidly changing Victorian world.
