""Two on a Tower"" is a novel by Thomas Hardy, first published in 1882. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the lives of two characters, Lady Constantine and Swithin St. Cleeve. Lady Constantine is a wealthy widow who lives in a grand estate called Welland House, while Swithin is a young astronomer who lives in a nearby cottage. Despite their different backgrounds, the two become romantically involved and begin a secret relationship.Their love affair is complicated by societal expectations and the class divide between them. Lady Constantine is expected to marry someone of her own social status, while Swithin is seen as beneath her. Additionally, Swithin's passion for astronomy takes him away from Lady Constantine for long periods of time, causing tension in their relationship.As the story progresses, the two must navigate their feelings for each other and the challenges of their circumstances. They also face unexpected obstacles, including the interference of Lady Constantine's family and a tragic accident that threatens to tear them apart.""Two on a Tower"" is a poignant exploration of love, class, and the struggle to find happiness in a world that often seems determined to keep people apart. Hardy's lyrical prose and vivid descriptions of the English countryside make this novel a timeless classic of English literature.All night the astronomer's mind was on the stretch with curiosity as to what the Bishop could wish to say to him. A dozen conjectures entered his brain, to be abandoned in turn as unlikely. That which finally seemed the most plausible was that the Bishop, having become interested in his pursuits, and entertaining friendly recollections of his father, was going to ask if he could do anything to help him on in the profession he had chosen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Thomas Hardy's last novel charts the life of Jude Fawley from his parochial childhood to his death in the collegiate city of Christminster, the centre of his intellectual dreams and their failure. Initially published as a much-abridged serial, the text first appeared in its full and present form in 1895.

Hardy's two versions of a strange story set in the weird landscape of Portland. The central figure is a man obsessed both with the search for his ideal woman and with sculpting the perfect figure of Aphrodite.

Jude Fawley, the stonemason excluded not by his wits but by poverty from the world of Christminster privilege, finds fulfilment in his relationship with Sue Bridehead. Both have left earlier marriages. Ironically, when tragedy tests their union it is Sue, the modern emancipated woman, who proves unequal to the challenge. Hardy's fearless exploration of sexual and social relationships and his prophetic critique of marriage scandalised the late Victorian establishment and marked the end of his career as a novelist.
