Shell, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. With thanks to the McCain Library, Agnes Scott College "Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice" by James Branch Cabell is a novel written during the early 20th century. This fantastical tale centers around the character of Jurgen, a pawnbroker who embarks on an extraordinary journey through various mystical realms, seeking not only his wife, Dame Lisa, but also the deeper meanings of love, desire, and justice. The novel interweaves themes of myth and poetry, challenging social norms and perceptions of morality. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Jurgen as he encounters a black gentleman who seemingly possesses magical powers, and he learns that his wife has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. This strange event compels Jurgen to explore the magical world beyond his mundane life. He finds himself in a cave where he meets a centaur named Nessus and eventually enters a fantastical garden reminiscent of his youthful love, where he grapples with both nostalgic memories and the nature of desire. The opening sets a whimsical yet thought-provoking tone, hinting at the complex interplay between the mortal and the mythical, as Jurgen navigates his journey towards an understanding of himself and his desires.
