Summary "Crowded Out! and Other Sketches" by S. Frances Harrison is a collection of sketches likely written during the late 19th century. The work seeks to capture various aspects and phases of colonial life, particularly from a Canadian perspective, blending both truth and imagination to explore unique individual characteristics in society. The opening of this collection sets the tone with a poignant and introspective piece about an unnamed protagonist who finds himself in a state of desperation and ambition while living in London. He reflects on his artistic aspirations, grappling with the reality of being an unknown toiling within the boundaries of a vast city that seems indifferent to his existence. As he seeks recognition for his creations, including an opera dear to him, he is haunted by memories of a love, Hortense, who remains a distant dream. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the protagonist’s feelings of loneliness, longing, and passion for both his art and the city itself, establishing a foundation for the sketches that follow in the anthology.
