  1. Part Eighteen of Eighteen Volumes. Gilbert, Canadian-born novelist and politician, his literary reputation lies primarily on his earlier descriptive, dramatic and historic Canadian stories. He moved to England in 1889 and later served in Parliament. Parker explains that in this edition of his work, each volume will have a special introduction setting forth, as far as possible, the relation of each work to the author, to its companion works, and to the scheme of his literary life. The Judgment House is set in South Africa during a time of war and Parker tries to get the atmosphere of the country into the book from the first page, and to have the South African note beat through every chapter, like the motif in the overture of an opera, so that the reader will be caught by it long before the story shifts below the Zambesi. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
