"The Project Gutenberg Complete Works of Gilbert Parker" by Gilbert Parker is a comprehensive collection of his literary works compiled for readers in the digital age, likely reflecting the late 19th century when the author was active. This collection spans various genres, including novels, short stories, poetry, and plays, showcasing Parker's explorations of themes such as love, ambition, and societal issues against the backdrop of his time. The opening of "The Judgment House" introduces us to an exquisite scene in Covent Garden, where the opera "Manassa" captivates a diverse audience. Among them are Adrian Fellowes, who observes the triumph of Al'mah, the opera's star; and Jasmine Grenfel, a young woman caught between two suitors—Ian Stafford, idealistic and ambitious, and Rudyard Byng, a wealthy South African nabob. Jasmine's complex nature is revealed as she navigates her own aspirations and the allure of power, set against the dramatic backdrop of a budding crisis involving the Jameson Raid in South Africa. The characters' interactions and inner conflicts foreshadow significant developments as their lives intertwine within the grandeur and chaos. This excerpt sets the stage for a tale woven with personal and political stakes, hinting at the struggles of love and ambition against a richly detailed world.
