Produktbeschreibung

In 'Hetty Wesley' by Arthur Quiller-Couch, readers are taken on a journey through the lives of the Wesley siblings - Samuel, John, and Charles - set against the backdrop of a changing Victorian England. Quiller-Couch's descriptive and evocative prose brings to life the struggles and triumphs of the Wesley family, providing a glimpse into the social and religious dynamics of the time. The novel is rich in historical detail, offering a nuanced portrayal of the siblings' relationships and the impact of their religious convictions on their lives. Arthur Quiller-Couch, known for his historical fiction works, drew inspiration from his deep knowledge of English history and literature to pen 'Hetty Wesley'. His keen insight into the Victorian era shines through in his vivid characterizations and compelling storytelling. Quiller-Couch's own background as a prominent literary figure and scholar likely fueled his passion for exploring the complexities of family dynamics and religious fervor in his writing. I highly recommend 'Hetty Wesley' to readers who enjoy historical fiction that delves into the intersections of personal relationships and broader societal issues. Quiller-Couch's masterful storytelling and attention to historical accuracy make this a captivating read for fans of the genre.

Autorenporträt

Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch was a British author who wrote under the name Q. He was born on November 21, 1863, and died on May 12, 1944. Even though he wrote a lot of novels, he is best known for his literary criticism and the massive book The Oxford Book of English Verse 1250 1900 (later expanded to 1918). Many people, including the American author Helene Hanff, who wrote 84, Charing Cross Road and its follow-up, Q's Legacy, were inspired by him even though they never met him. His Oxford Book of English Verse was a favorite of Horace Rumpole, a figure in John Mortimer's stories. Arthur Quiller-Couch was born in England in the town of Bodmin in the county of Cornwall. He was born to Dr. Thomas Quiller Couch (d. 1884), a famous doctor, folklorist, and scholar who married Mary Ford and lived at 63 Fore Street, Bodmin, until he died there in 1884. Thomas was born from the marriage of two very old families in the area: The Couch family and the Quiller family. Arthur was the third smart person in the Couch family to come from that line. Jonathan Couch, his grandpa, was a naturalist, a doctor, a historian, a classicist, an apothecary, and an artist (mostly of fish). He had two younger sisters named Florence Mabel and Lilian M. who were also artists and folklorists.
