Laodicean Hardy Thomas
The daughter of a wealthy railway magnate, Paula Power inherits De Stancy Castle, an ancient castle in need of modernization. Somerset falls in love with Paula but she, the Laodicean of the title, is torn between his admiration and that of Captain De Stancy, whose old-world romanticism contrasts with Somerset's forward-looking attitude. She commissions George Somerset, a young architect, to undertake the work.
Her ambiguity regarding religion, politics and social progress is a reflection of the author's own. Paula's vacillation, however, is not only romantic. This new Penguin Classics edition of Hardy's text contains an introduction and notes that illuminate and clarify these themes, and draws parallels between the text and the author's life and views.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
