Produktbeschreibung

Dodo Collections brings you another classic from Arthur Quiller-Couch 'Corporal Sam and Other Stories.'

Corporal Sam and Other Stories was published in 1910.

Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch was a Cornish writer, who published under the pen name of Q. He published his Dead Man's Rock (a romance in the vein of Stevenson's Treasure Island) in 1887, and he followed this up with Troy Town (1888) and The Splendid Spur (1889). After some journalistic experience in London, mainly as a contributor to the Speaker, in 1891 he settled at Fowey in Cornwall. He published in 1896 a series of critical articles, Adventures in Criticism, and in 1898 he completed Robert Louis Stevenson's unfinished novel, St Ives. With the exception of the parodies entitled Green Bays: Verses and Parodies (1893), his poetical work is contained in Poems and Ballads (1896). In 1895 he published an anthology from the sixteenth and seventeenth-century English lyrists, The Golden Pomp, followed in 1900 by an equally successful Oxford Book of English Verse, 1250-1900 (1900). He was made a Bard of Gorseth Kernow in 1928, taking the Bardic name Marghak Cough ('Red Knight').

Quiller-Couch was a noted literary critic, publishing editions of some of Shakespeare's plays (in the New Shakespeare, published by Cambridge University Press, with Dover Wilson) and several critical works, including Studies in Literature (1918) and On the Art of Reading (1920). He edited a successor to his verse anthology: Oxford Book of English Prose, which was published in 1923. He left his autobiography, Memories and Opinions, unfinished; it was nevertheless published in 1945.

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.
