Autorenporträt
Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, born on November 21, 1863, in Cornwall, England, was a prolific writer, critic, and editor who made significant contributions to English literature. Widely known by his pseudonym 'Q', Quiller-Couch attended Clifton College, Oxford, where he demonstrated his literary prowess early on. His works span several genres, including poetry, literary criticism, and novels, and he is well-regarded for 'The Oxford Book of English Verse 1250-1900' (1900), which he compiled and edited. Quiller-Couch also held the prestigious King Edward VII Professorship of English Literature at the University of Cambridge from 1912 until his death in 1944. Among his many works, 'Corporal Sam and Other Stories' highlights his adeptness at weaving compelling narratives with deep human insights and a distinctively English flavor. His literary style is marked by a fusion of romanticism and realism, characterized by engaging dialogues and vivid descriptions that breathe life into his characters and settings. Quiller-Couch's works are remembered for their influence on the revival of interest in the literary and cultural heritage of Cornwall, his ability to critique contemporary literature judiciously, and his knack for storytelling that captivated the audiences of his time and continues to resonate with readers today.
