About This Novel

This book "On the Art of Writing" is a collection of lectures given by Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch on "teaching the art of writing to his students at Cambridge University" from 1913 to 1914. The first of these was his inaugural lecture in 1912 when he was appointed Professor of English Literature at Cambridge University by King Edward VII of England. As a well-known literary critic, scholar, and education reformer, Sir Queller-Couch emphasizes the artistry and vital nature of language in this collection of speeches, and provides some "techniques" that are indispensable in the process of language expression and understanding.

The Art of Writing - Book Review

The essence of literature is personal, and personalization forms the cornerstone of all art criticism. Art refers directly to people's inner thoughts and emotions. Literature is personal, and people are diverse. This is because the world is complicated, and so is literature. Literature ultimately depends on who writes it, for whom it is written, and in what mood and occasion it is written. Literary works contain four elements: author, reader, mood, and occasion.

The Art of Writing - Book Review

Writing is a living art. In short, literature is not a science to be studied, but an art that needs to be practiced. Thought and language are inseparable, and things and expressions are one; style is the extension of thinking to language. Literature is thinking expressed in language.
