Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeThe English language is an intricate maze of rules and exceptions. Knowing each rule is difficult even for native English speakers and writers. Different style guides use contradicting rules, confusing even more budding writers who desperately try to write clean copy. Fortunately, there is a simple way for writers to improve their copy with under 2 oz of material resources: Elements of style. In 1919, William Strunk, Jr., an English teacher at Cornell, wrote a small textbook and style that he affectionately referred to as "the little book". Originally published only for your classes, the booklet instructed the reader to embrace simple and easy to remember the rules for improving your copy. Reviewed by E.B. White (former student of Strunk's), the little book became a little bigger, but it's still tiny.These refined methods can be implemented in all forms of writing, including essays, reports, blogs, and even tweets. With more than 10 million copies sold, the elements of the style has helped writers of all sizes. All writers, regardless of their age or level, will benefit from the simple rules described in this tiny manuscript.
