NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS On The Art Of Writing: Lectures Delivered In The University Of Cambridge 1913-1914 This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.
Autorenporträt
Arthur Quiller-Couch was born in the town of Bodmin, Cornwall. He was the son of Dr. Thomas Quiller Couch, a renowned physician, folklorist, and historian who married Mary Ford and resided at 63 Fore Street, Bodmin, until his death in 1884. Thomas was the offspring of two historic local families, the Quiller and Couch dynasties. Arthur was the third generation of academics from the Couch family. His grandfather, Jonathan Couch, was a naturalist, physician, historian, classicist, pharmacist, and illustrator (especially of fish). His younger sisters, Florence Mabel and Lilian M., were both writers and folklorists. Quiller-Couch attended Newton Abbot Proprietary College between the late 1870s and the early 1880s. He later attended Clifton College and Trinity College, Oxford, where he earned a First in Classical Moderations (1884) and a Second in Greats (1886). Quiller-Couch briefly taught Classics at Trinity beginning in 1886. After gaining some journalistic experience in London, primarily as a writer to The Speaker (periodical), he settled in Fowey, Cornwall, in 1891.
