Thomas Hardy's dual career as both architect and novelist is well known, yet the profound ways in which architecture shapes his literary imagination remain underexplored. This book offers a pioneering study of the ethical, political and aesthetic implications of Hardy's engagement with architecture, both within and beyond his literary works. From the analogy between architecture and personhood, through the symbolic weight of ruins and architectural restoration, to the reification of memory and desire in built form, Hardy's fiction emerges as a literary edifice shaped not only by the ethos, political tensions, and aesthetics of nineteenth-century architecture, but also by a vivid and enduring architectural imagination.This book opens new pathways for understanding his work, and, more broadly, the relationship between the built environment and literary imagination. It will appeal to scholars and students of English literature, architecture, and Victorian studies, as well as general readers fascinated by the intersections of art, space, and storytelling.
