Educated at Newton Abbot College, Clifton College and Trinity College, Oxford, Quiller-Couch began his career as a lecturer in classics at Oxford in 1886. In 1887, he published his first novel, Dead Man's Rock, about his native Cornwall. Between 1887 and 1892 he was in London working for a publishing company and also as an editor for The Speaker. Many of the stories that he contributed to this periodical were collected in book form. Knighted in 1910, he became professor of English literature at Cambridge in 1912. In addition to his novels, poetry and short stories, Quiller-Couch was an anthologist responsible for many important works, including The Oxford Book of English Verse 1250-1900 (1900) and The Oxford Book of Ballads (1910). His numerous works include The Splendid Spur (1889), Major Vigoureux (1907), On the Art of Writing (1916), ON the Art of Reading (1920), Charles Dickens and Other Victorians (1925), Poems (1930), Green Bays (1930) and The Poet As Citizen and Other Papers (1934). |
