Publisher's Synopsis
""One Story By Two Authors: Or A Tale Without A Moral"" is a novel published in 1862, written by two authors identified only by the initials I. and J. The novel tells the story of a young woman named Mary, who is orphaned at a young age and raised by her aunt and uncle. Mary falls in love with a young man named Edward, but their relationship is complicated by the interference of Mary's aunt and uncle, who disapprove of Edward's social status.The novel is structured as a series of letters exchanged between the two authors, who take turns narrating different parts of the story. The authors frequently interrupt each other's narrative to argue about the direction of the plot, the characterization of the protagonists, and the moral implications of the story.Despite its title, ""One Story By Two Authors"" does have a moral message, albeit a somewhat ambiguous one. The novel explores themes of class and social mobility, as well as the tension between duty and desire. The authors also use the novel as a platform to critique the conventions of Victorian literature and the limitations of the novel form itself.Overall, ""One Story By Two Authors"" is an experimental and unconventional novel that challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about storytelling and morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
