Autorenporträt

Arthur Quiller-Couch, born in Bodmin, Cornwall on November 21, 1863, was a prolific British writer, editor, and critic with significant contributions to English literary tradition. Known by his pseudonym 'Q', Quiller-Couch attended Clifton College, Oxford University, and later held a professorship at Cambridge. His versatility spanned across genres such as fiction, poetry, and anthologies. A champion of English prose style, Quiller-Couch's 'Adventures in Criticism' (1911) exemplifies his analytical prowess and his engaging, accessible explication of literary works. His commitment to the development of literature is also evident from his editing of the expansive 'Oxford Book of English Verse' (1900), which remained a definitive compilation for decades. His literary style, deeply embedded in the Romantic tradition, often reflected a nostalgic charm, underpinned by vivid characterizations and scenic descriptions, seen vividly in his fiction works such as the novels set in his beloved Cornwall. As a literary figure, Quiller-Couch's legacy endures through his esteemed lectures, essays, and the 'Art of Writing' which continue to inspire literary scholarship and the craft of writing itself. He passed away on May 12, 1944, leaving a lasting imprint on the landscape of English literature.
