A Story of To-Day explores the conflict between tradition and modernity in Britain. Paula Power hires two architects to renovate her medieval castle. The plot involves such modern contrivances as falsified telegrams and faked photographs. Hardy addresses his novel to younger people, ''that large and happy section of the reading public which has not yet reached ripeness of years; those to whom marriage is the pilgrim's Eternal City, and not a milestone on the way.''
