This is a beautiful volume of a culturally important book, but any discussion of The Elements of Styles must come with this caveat-- it is only a style guide. I repeat, it is only a style guide. Some parts are helpful, but some of the advice in fact is contrary to clarity or actual observed usage of the English language, too. Use with prudence, as is always recommended for any style guide.

HTML:The original edition of the most trusted writer's guide to American English, this is the book that generations of writers have relied upon for timeless advice on grammar, diction, syntax, sentence construction, and other writing essentials. In brief and concise terms, author William Strunk, Jr., identifies the principal requirements of proper American English style and concentrates on the most often violated rules of composition. Originally published in 1918, this authoritative and engagingly written manual retains its immediacy and relevance. Strunk begins with the basic rules of usage, offering accessible explanations of correct punctuation and grammar. His advice on the principles of composition cites concrete examples of how to maintain clarity by eliminating redundancy and unnecessary embellishment. In addition, Strunk provides valuable pointers on avoiding common errors in the usage of words and expressions, and in spelling. The greatest book of its kind, this volume is a must for any student or writer. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
