E-text prepared by Geetu Melwani and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net/) "Adventures in Criticism" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a collection of critical essays written in the late 19th century. The work explores various aspects of English literature, focusing on renowned authors, poets, and their contributions to the literary world. Through these essays, the author examines the intersection of personal experience, literary analysis, and cultural context in shaping literary appreciation and criticism. The opening of the collection serves as a dedication to A.B. Walkley and provides insight into the author's motivations for compiling these essays. In a reflective tone, Quiller-Couch shares how his writings, originally published in "The Speaker", reveal his commitment to literature and the influence of fellow writers on his thought process. He highlights the importance of engaging critically with literature, as well as the joy of rediscovery that comes with revisiting familiar works. Through engaging prose, he sets the stage for a discussion on literary figures such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, and others, emphasizing both admiration for their artistry and the need for critical understanding.
