From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Job, Book of       A great diversity of opinion exists as to the authorship of this       book. From internal evidence, such as the similarity of       sentiment and language to those in the Psalms and Proverbs (see       Ps. 88 and 89), the prevalence of the idea of "wisdom," and the       style and character of the composition, it is supposed by some       to have been written in the time of David and Solomon. Others       argue that it was written by Job himself, or by Elihu, or       Isaiah, or perhaps more probably by Moses, who was "learned in       all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and mighty in words and deeds"       (Acts 7:22). He had opportunities in Midian for obtaining the       knowledge of the facts related. But the authorship is altogether       uncertain.                As to the character of the book, it is a historical poem, one       of the greatest and sublimest poems in all literature. Job was a       historical person, and the localities and names were real and       not fictious. It is "one of the grandest portions of the       inspired Scriptures, a heavenly-repleished storehouse of comfort       and instruction, the patriarchal Bible, and a precious monument       of primitive theology. It is to the Old Testament what the       Epistle to the Romans is to the New." It is a didactic narrative       in a dramatic form.                This book was apparently well known in the days of Ezekiel,       B.C. 600 (Ezek. 14:14). It formed a part of the sacred       Scriptures used by our Lord and his apostles, and is referred to       as a part of the inspired Word (Heb. 12:5; 1 Cor. 3:19).                The subject of the book is the trial of Job, its occasion,       nature, endurance, and issue. It exhibits the harmony of the       truths of revelation and the dealings of Providence, which are       seen to be at once inscrutable, just, and merciful. It shows the       blessedness of the truly pious, even amid sore afflictions, and       thus ministers comfort and hope to tried believers of every age.       It is a book of manifold instruction, and is profitable for       doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in       righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16).                It consists of,                (1.) An historical introduction in prose (ch. 1,2).                (2.) The controversy and its solution, in poetry (ch. 3-42:6).                Job's desponding lamentation (ch. 3) is the occasion of the       controversy which is carried on in three courses of dialogues       between Job and his three friends. The first course gives the       commencement of the controversy (ch. 4-14); the second the       growth of the controversy (15-21); and the third the height of       the controversy (22-27). This is followed by the solution of the       controversy in the speeches of Elihu and the address of Jehovah,       followed by Job's humble confession (42:1-6) of his own fault       and folly.                (3.) The third division is the historical conclusion, in prose       (42:7-15).                Sir J. W. Dawson in "The Expositor" says: "It would now seem       that the language and theology of the book of Job can be better       explained by supposing it to be a portion of Minean [Southern       Arabia] literature obtained by Moses in Midian than in any other       way. This view also agrees better than any other with its       references to natural objects, the art of mining, and other       matters."
