Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, known affectionately as 'Q' in the literary world, was an eminent English writer, poet, and literary critic born on November 21, 1863, in Bodmin, Cornwall. His influential role in the arts and letters of his time was augmented by his tenure as the King Edward VII Professor of English Literature at Cambridge University from 1912 until his death in 1944. Quiller-Couch was a prolific writer, with 'Brother Copas' standing as a notable example of his narrative prowess and his adeptness at blending wit with sentimentality, characteristic of his literary style. This novel, like many of his works, is distinguished by its vivid characterizations and insightful exploration of social issues, retaining relevance through its humanistic themes. His body of work is extensive, with other significant contributions including 'The Oxford Book of English Verse 1250–1900,' which he compiled and edited. It remains a testament to his keen editorial eye and deep love for literature. An advocate of the storytelling tradition, Quiller-Couch's contributions to English literature extend beyond his texts, influencing literary criticism and pedagogy through his lectures and essays which urged the importance of reading for pleasure and the use of simple, clear English in writing.
