Autorenporträt
Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, born on November 21, 1863, in Cornwall, England, was a noted literary critic, editor, poet, and novelist, best known under his pseudonym 'Q'. His enduring legacy is partly attributed to his significant influence on English literary studies as a professor at Cambridge University. A prolific writer, Quiller-Couch authored numerous works, including the novel 'The Shining Ferry' (1905), which explores social change and human connections in the face of modernity, showcasing his adeptness at intertwining regional settings with universal themes. His literary style often reflected a deep nostalgia for the past coupled with a masterful use of imagery and symbolism, which has been highly regarded by both peers and scholars. His other notable works include 'The Oxford Book of English Verse' (1900), an anthology that remains a staple in English literature, and 'On the Art of Writing' (1916), which provides invaluable insights into the craft of writing and literary criticism. Quiller-Couch's contributions to literature were recognized by his knighthood in 1910. He passed away on May 12, 1944, leaving behind a rich literary heritage that continues to influence the realms of criticism and creative writing.
