Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Damned: The Intimate Story of a Girl" by E. S. Dorrance is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces us to the court of Gehenna, where the focus is on Satan and his courtiers as they navigate the challenges of governing the damned. The story revolves around Dolores Trent, a girl whose existence has brought grief to those around her, and her arrival in this infernal domain sparks intrigue and potential conflict. The opening of the novel sets a darkly whimsical tone, depicting a rather chaotic throne room in Hell where Satan, feeling disappointed with the state of evil on Earth, converses with his courtiers about the failures of their schemes to capture more souls. As the courtiers cower under his ominous presence, they discuss strategies for conscripting humans into eternal damnation. The mood shifts dramatically as Dolores, a girl with a tragic backstory, enters into the scene, prompting both curiosity and disdain from Satan. This chaotic introduction to hellish politics and the impending story of Dolores hints at a blend of satire and tragedy, laying the groundwork for a deeper exploration of morality, judgment, and redemption.
