Arthur Quiller-Couch

    Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, die publiceerde onder het pseudoniem Q, wordt voornamelijk herinnerd om het monumentale werk "Oxford Book of English Verse". Zijn reputatie rust daarnaast op zijn scherpe literaire kritiek, die de smaak van vele lezers stuurde, zelfs van degenen die hem nooit persoonlijk ontmoetten. Door zijn uitgebreide kritische werk en zijn werk als redacteur vestigde hij zich als een sleutelfiguur in de Engelse literaire traditie. Zijn nalatenschap leeft voort in de aanbevelingen en inspiraties die hij in het werk van andere auteurs achterliet.
