Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The art of writing is a living business,"" Declares Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch in the Preface to this classic. ""Literature is not a mere science, to be studied; but an art, to be practiced. Great as is our own literature, we must consider it as a legacy to be improved . . . if we persist in striving to write well, we can easily resign to other nations all the secondary fame."" Renowned as a critic, teacher, and educational reformer, Quiller-Couch delivered a series of lectures at the University of Cambridge in 1913-14. His subjects--the artistic and vital nature of language as well as the skills needed to convey and receive the written word--remain as timeless as his advice. This book contains the eminent scholar's remarks from those lectures on the practice of writing. The principles and practical guidelines he sets forth in this volume offer aspiring writers an enduring source of guidance. Every writer should have this book as reference and inspiration.

Adventures in Criticism

Adventures in Criticism

By: Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, Sir

After twenty-five years of close toil, Professor Skeat has completed his great edition of Chaucer. It is obviously easier to be dithyrambic than critical in chronicling this event; to which indeed dithyrambs are more appropriate than criticism. For when a man writes Opus vitæ meæ at the conclusion of such a task as this, and so lays down his pen, he must be a churl (even if he be also a competent critic) who will allow no pause for admiration. And where, churl or no churl, is the competent critic to be found? The Professor has here compiled an entirely new text of Chaucer, founded solely on the manuscripts and the earliest printed editions that are accessible. Where Chaucer has translated, the originals have been carefully studied: "the requirements of metre and grammar have been carefully considered throughout": and "the phonology and spelling of every word have received particular attention." We may add that all the materials for a Life of Chaucer have been sought out, examined, and pieced together with exemplary care.All this has taken Professor Skeat twenty-five years, and in order to pass competent judgment on his conclusions the critic must follow him step by step through his researches—which will take the critic (even if we are charitable enough to suppose his mental equipment equal to Professor Skeat's) another ten years at least. For our time, then, and probably for many generations after, this edition of Chaucer will be accepted as final.________________________________________

The Westcotes

By: Arthur Thomas Quiller-couch

Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch was born in 1863 in Cornwall. Knighted in 1910, the distinguished author whose pseudonym was Q, was the King Edward Professor of English at Cambridge. Many of his novels featured Cornish themes, and were praised by critics and readers alike. Quiller-Couch was, for nearly forty years, the editor of The Oxford Book of English Verse, After a reversal of family fortunes, Q wrote and published more than 30 novels prior to 1900, many of which were well-plotted action and adventure tales in the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson and H. Rider Haggard. The Westcotes, published in 1902, represents a departure for Q, in the human interest and exploration of character to be found in its story of a middle-aged woman and her love for a young man. Q was one of the most respected and beloved figures in British literature; he died unexpectedly in an auto crash in 1944.

The Laird's Luck and Other Fireside Tales

By: Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch

Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch wrote short stories, novels, criticism, and edited anthologies, including the Oxford Book series. He was Assistant Editor of the Liberal weekly The Speaker, and from 1912 until his death was Professor of English at Cambridge University. Writing under the pen name Q, Sir Arthur produced a variety of work, including adventure stories, historical fiction, satire, stories of the supernatural, and mysteries. The Laird's Luck and Other Fireside Tales is a set of stories from the Napoleonic Wars. In the title tale, a young Scottish Ensign dies gallantly, defending the colors, at the battle of Waterloo. Yet a serious charge has been laid against him that could dishonor his name despite his actions in battle, and all who might be able to defend him are also dead. Was he in fact a scoundrel? The other tales cover other aspects of war and human reactions to it.

Shakespeare's Workmanship

By: Arthur Quiller-Couch

Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), who often published under the pen-name of 'Q', was one of the giants of early twentieth-century literature and literary criticism. A novelist and poet who was also a Professor of English, he helped to form the literary tastes of generations of literary students and scholars who came after him. The freshness, enthusiasm and intellectual insight of his work is still evident in his writings nearly a century on. Cambridge University Press is delighted to reissue some of his key texts in this new edition. Shakespeare's Workmanship, first published in 1918, offers detailed readings of Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, Hamlet, Pericles and King Henry VIII, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale and The Tempest, with an account of the story of Falstaff, and a general description of the features of Shakespeare's later plays.

Nicky-Nan, Reservist

By: Arthur Thomas Quiller-couch

Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch was born in 1863 in Cornwall. Knighted in 1910, the distinguished author whose pseudonym was Q, was the King Edward Professor of English at Cambridge. Many of his novels featured Cornish themes, and were praised by critics and readers alike. Quiller-Couch was, for nearly forty years, the editor of The Oxford Book of English Verse, After a reversal of family fortunes, Q wrote and published more than 30 novels prior to 1900, many of which were well-plotted action and adventure tales in the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson and H. Rider Haggard. Nicky-Nan, Reservist is one of Q's later books, an examination of character, rather than adventure. Published in 1915, Nicky-Nan is based on Q's experience recruiting young men to fight in the first World War. Q married his wife Louisa in 1888 -- their much-loved son Bevis fought in World War I and survived the battles, only to succumb to pneumonia after the war in 1919. This tragedy colored the remaining twenty-five years of Q's life, and as a result, Nicky-Nan is a much more spirited book, presenting the war effort in a much more kindly light than Q was able to muster after his son's death.
