(Arthur Thomas) Quiller-Couch, Arthur Thomas On the Art of Writing Lectures delivered in the University of Cambridge 1913-1914 Produced by James Tenison "On the Art of Writing" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a collection of lectures on literary theory delivered at the University of Cambridge in the early 20th century. The text discusses the nature of literature, the distinction between prose and verse, and the principles of good writing. Its focus lies on the idea that literature is not merely an abstract science but rather an art that should be practiced consistently to improve one's craft. At the start of the book, Quiller-Couch emphasizes the importance of approaching literature with openness to the author's intentions, asserting that literature nourishes noble characters and shapes intellectual breeding. He reflects on the history of literature, touching on the integration of poetry and philosophy, and cautions against the division of literature into rigid categories. The opening sets a contemplative tone, establishing a foundation for exploring the principles of writing which will be elaborated upon in subsequent lectures. Quiller-Couch's intention is to inspire a commitment to the art of writing and to advocate for its active practice among students, ensuring that English literature continues to thrive and evolve.
