The Incomplete Amorist

The Incomplete Amorist is a novel written by Edith Nesbit, an English author best known for her children's books. The novel was first published in 1906 and tells the story of a young woman named Alicia Darracott who is engaged to a wealthy but dull man named Horace Carpenter. However, Alicia is not content with her life and begins to have an affair with a charming and mysterious artist named Julian Ord. As their relationship develops, Alicia finds herself torn between her duty to her fianc����� and her growing love for Julian. The novel explores themes of love, passion, and morality, as well as the constraints of society and the expectations placed on women in the early 20th century. Nesbit's writing is known for its wit and humor, and The Incomplete Amorist is no exception, with its lively dialogue and vivid characters. The novel was praised for its frankness and honesty in depicting the complexities of human relationships, and remains a popular work of early 20th-century literature.MR. EUSTACE VERNON is not by any error to be imagined as a villain of the deepest dye, coldly planning to bring misery to a simple village maiden for his own selfish pleasure. Not at all. As he himself would have put it, he meant no harm to the girl. He was a master of two arts, and to these he had devoted himself wholly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
