A Laodicean: A Story Of Today

Zusatztext

In "A Laodicean" (1881) Mr. Hardy became less spontaneous and charming, although more subtle and, perhaps, more powerful. The heroine, Paula Power, the Laodicean, neither hot nor cold, is a most interesting study in feminine psychology. The three leading male charactersSomerset, the architect, Dare, the adventurer, and Captain de Stancy, the scion of a decayed familyare well drawn.
