Eleven wood-engravings, dark orange cloth, 410 pp., introductions by Trevor Johnson, wood engravings by Peter Reddick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216459088211,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421141156179,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/a-laodicean-folio-society-819","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
