Fairly easy to read. E-text prepared by Suzanne Shell, Martin Pettit, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Judge" by Rebecca West is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Ellen Melville, a young Suffragette in Edinburgh, grappling with her identity and aspirations in a society that feels confining and mundane. Ellen's longing for adventure and significance amid the beauty and complexities of her surroundings sets the stage for her internal struggles and the thematic exploration of women's rights and societal expectations. At the start of the novel, Ellen is depicted in a moment of introspection as she observes Edinburgh's twilight beauty, which contrasts sharply with her feelings of discontent and isolation. She reflects on her recent past — her education, her relationship with her mother, and her work as a typist in a law office. Her encounters with men like Mr. Philip James and the arrival of Richard Yaverland, a charismatic client, further ignite her consciousness of the world beyond her immediate experiences. Despite her frustrations stemming from unfulfilled aspirations, Ellen's vibrant imagination and spirited ambitions hint at the potential for change and self-discovery as she attempts to navigate her sphere and challenge prevailing societal norms.
