Cupid’s Understudy is a 1909 novel written by Edward Salisbury Field. The story revolves around the character of Jack, a young man who is hired as an understudy to Cupid, the god of love. Jack’s job is to take over Cupid’s duties when he is too busy or unable to fulfill them himself. As Jack begins to learn the ropes of being Cupid’s understudy, he falls in love with a young woman named Ethel. However, Ethel is already engaged to another man, and Jack must navigate his feelings for her while still carrying out his duties as Cupid’s assistant. Throughout the novel, Jack encounters a variety of characters, including other gods and mythical creatures, as he attempts to balance his personal life with his job as Cupid’s understudy. The book explores themes of love, fate, and the power of the gods, and offers a unique take on the classic mythological character of Cupid.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
