Gardner Gardner-Soper, James Hamlin The Way of Ambition Produced by Suzanne Shell, Janet Blenkinship and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Way of Ambition" by Robert Hichens is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the lives and ambitions of its characters, primarily focusing on a young woman named Charmian, who longs for recognition and a life apart from the crowd. The narrative explores themes of artistic aspiration, societal expectations, and the dynamics of personal relationships within a cultural context. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Charmian and her mother, Mrs. Mansfield, in a drawing-room discussion about a Cornish composer named Claude Heath. Charmian expresses her desire for a new wave of English music and becomes intrigued by Heath, who has not yet gained fame. The opening depicts their conversations and social interactions, hinting at Charmian's deep yearning for artistic recognition and her complex feelings toward ambition and identity. As the characters discuss Heath's background and potential, a connection is suggested between Charmian and Heath, setting the stage for interpersonal tensions and explorations of ambition that are likely to unfold throughout the story.
