Besides _The Seats of the Mighty_, the novels of Gilbert Parker that will be likely to command most attention because of intrinsic worth are: _The Right of Way_, _The Battle of the Strong_, _When Valmond Came to Pontiac_, _The Weavers_, and _The Judgment House_. _The Right of Way_ is a compelling study in abnormal psychology. There may be improbabilities in the development of the story of Charley Steele, but there is a living force in his character and he stands forth as one of the realities of fiction. _The Battle of the Strong_ depicts the Channel Islands in the eighteenth century, and was written in a mood of defiance. Parker was going to get away from a Canadian background. He would write no more novels of Canada. But, as Sherlock Holmes ‘returned,’ so Canada was too much a part of Gilbert Parker’s life to remain out of his writings, and he found, himself unable to get away from it for very long. _The Battle of the Strong_, however, was based on a thorough and sympathetic study of the country and people of the Channel Islands and the characters and incidents are colored with a simple, engaging humor. _When Valmond Came to Pontiac_ is a delightful excursion into romance in which the Napoleonic tradition shows its influence in a little out-of-the-way village of Quebec. It has much of the charm of Booth Tarkington’s _Monsieur Beaucaire_ and is structurally the nearest to artistic perfection of any of Parker’s novels. _The Weavers_ rises to a more Imperialistic sweep, dealing as it does with internal and international politics of Egypt, while _The Judgment House_, a novel of London and South Africa, is his greatest literary conception; in it his imaginative vision has apprehended big interests, big business, big ideals, big expansion, Imperial ends, conceived and carried out by big men, struggling and striving and achieving in a big world. His more recent novels, although some of them, as _The Money Master_, show considerable skill in characterization, are largely novels of incident and of accidental circumstance and have not the broad grasp of men and events nor the innate emotional depth and power of those just outlined. The outstanding qualities of Parker’s work are:— (1) The strong dramatic quality. It is no surprise to us to learn that he was in his college days a most enthusiastic Shakespeare student and an ‘elocutionist’ of some reputation. The power to portray dramatic situations is exhibited in his very earliest writings. One need but open almost any of his novels and read the first paragraph to find that one is projected into an imaginative world of action, although the story may begin with a sentence of pure narration or description.
