In Partnership: Studies in story-telling

"In Partnership: Studies in Story-Telling" by Brander Matthews is a compilation of essays and stories from the late 1800s that considers the art of writing. Instead of following specific characters, the work explores different ways to write a story, looking at strategies and the talent behind fiction by sharing studies and tales about storytelling itself. The collection begins discussing "The Documents in the Case," which investigates Sir William Beauvoir's life and what his family history and debts mean after he dies. Using letters and articles, the story shows his complicated family and how it affects the narrative, exploring how storytelling reveals difficult character and legacy details.
