Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Writing English: A Manual for Students: With Chapters on Paraphrasing, Essay-Writing, Precis-Writing, Punctuation, and Other Matters This book has been written for the purpose of guiding the young student into the right path, and of saving him from wasting his time in exercises that are not only of no use to him, 'but are positive hindrances in the way of his learning to write good, clear, and firm English. The use of Analysis as a guide to Composition - as it is sometimes called - proves to be the veriest Slough of Despond, in which the student can neither swim nor walk. The writer has not worried his pupils with a large number of rules and meticulous directions, but has tried to set their feet in a plain path, has tried to show them the road to freedom and power - and perhaps even to delight in adequate and rhythmic expression.

Download or read book Clear and Simple as the Truth written by Francis-Noël Thomas and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone talks about style, but no one explains it. The authors of this book do; and in doing so, they provoke the reader to consider style, not as an elegant accessory of effective prose, but as its very heart. At a time when writing skills have virtually disappeared, what can be done? If only people learned the principles of verbal correctness, the essential rules, wouldn't good prose simply fall into place? Thomas and Turner say no. Attending to rules of grammar, sense, and sentence structure will no more lead to effective prose than knowing the mechanics of a golf swing will lead to a hole-in-one. Furthermore, ten-step programs to better writing exacerbate the problem by failing to recognize, as Thomas and Turner point out, that there are many styles with different standards. In the first half of Clear and Simple, the authors introduce a range of styles--reflexive, practical, plain, contemplative, romantic, prophetic, and others--contrasting them to classic style. Its principles are simple: The writer adopts the pose that the motive is truth, the purpose is presentation, the reader is an intellectual equal, and the occasion is informal. Classic style is at home in everything from business memos to personal letters, from magazine articles to university writing. The second half of the book is a tour of examples--the exquisite and the execrable--showing what has worked and what hasn't. Classic prose is found everywhere: from Thomas Jefferson to Junichirō Tanizaki, from Mark Twain to the observations of an undergraduate. Here are many fine performances in classic style, each clear and simple as the truth. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from Writers at Work: The Paragraph and Writers at Work: the Short Composition, Writers at Work: The Essay will teach the basics of academic essay writing to intermediate-level students. In Writers at Work: The Essay, college and university students use the process approach to write different genres of essays common at the post-secondary level, the most important being expository writing, persuasive writing, and timed essay exams. Each chapter uses the same five-step approach to writing that is used in the two lower-level books. In each chapter, students analyze a model essay, noticing key organizational and linguistic features; brainstorm ideas; write multiple drafts; revise their work; engage in peer reviews; and share their finished work. Chapters recycle and build upon previously taught material.

Download or read book On the Writing of English (Classic Reprint) written by George Townsend Warner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seldom does one come across a work as simple yet immensely helpful as On the Writing of English by George Townsend Warner. Written with an earnest appeal to students of the English language, Warner provides the pillars of essay writing in the most easy to understand manner in this book. In the introduction itself he sets the tone for the subsequent pages with a heartfelt appeal to all for following the basic tenets of writing properly. On the Writing of English is divided into multiple chapters, each dealing with a particular aspect of creating the perfect essay. The book contains notes on style of writing, gathering material, proper grammar as well as sentence construction among many other issues that go into writing well. Warner breaks up the art of essay writing into various sections and deals with each one at a time. These include the pointers to keep in mind while developing the essay, the pitfalls to be wary of as well as merits and the art of choosing the right phrases and words for optimum impact. The work also contains an appendix of different writing styles as templates for readers to follow. On the Writing of English is useful to the general reader as much as it is to students of the language. It contains within it certain directives as well as well thought out and highly intuitive interventions to improve the quality of prose. Warner's ability to highlight the many pitfalls and common traps of writing an essay are particularly enlightening. This title is a worthy reference handbook for anyone who wishes to improve their writing abilities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An essential volume for generations of writers young and old. The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of this modern classic will continue to spark creative minds for years to come. Anne Lamott is "a warm, generous, and hilarious guide through the writer’s world and its treacherous swamps" (Los Angeles Times). “Superb writing advice…. Hilarious, helpful, and provocative.” —The New York Times Book Review For a quarter century, more than a million readers—scribes and scribblers of all ages and abilities—have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice. Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne’s father—also a writer—in the iconic passage that gives the book its title: “Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

But it takes several years to master - or even to come near mastering - the violin or the piano: how many more years ought it to take to enable any writer to come within sight of the goal of mastering the complexities, the intricacies, the beauties, and the subtleties of the English tongue? Again, when a young student is learning to write, he is also learning to think. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
