On the Art of Writing; Lectures Delivered in the University of Cambridge, 1913-1914 - Thryft

Timeless lectures on the craft of writing.

If you're passionate about writing, Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch's 'On the Art of Writing' is like a treasure trove of insight. Delivered at Cambridge over a century ago, these lectures are still remarkably relevant, providing pearls of wisdom on storytelling and the English language that are as instructive for today's aspiring writers as they were for your literary forebears. It's a bridge between past and present literary craft.
