Book excerpt: The editors believe heartily with Pater that "the chief stimulus of good style is to possess a full, rich, complex matter to grapple with". Instruction in writing, it is to be feared, too often neglects this sound doctrine and places an emphasis upon formal matters that seems disproportionate, especially when form is made to appear as a thing apart. Form and content go together and one must not suffer at the expense of the other. But a sustained interest in the ways and means of correct expression is aroused only when the student feels that he has something to express. Instructors often contend indeed that the ideas of undergraduates are far to seek, and that most of the time in the class-room is therefore best spent upon formal exercises and drill. The editors do not share this view. They believe that there is no class of people more responsive to new ideas and impressions than college students, and none more eager, when normally stimulated, to express themselves in writing. They have therefore aimed to present a series of related selections that would arouse thought and provoke oral discussion in the class-room, as well as furnish suitable models of style. In most cases the pieces are too long to be adequately handled in one class hour. A live topic may well be discussed for several hours, until its various sides have been examined and students are awakened to the many questions at issue. The editors have aimed, also, to supply selections so rich and vital in content that instructors themselves will feel challenged to add to the class discussion from their own knowledge and experience, and so turn a stream of fresh ideas upon "stock notions". Thus English composition, which in many courses in our larger institutions is now almost the only non?special study, can be made a direct means of liberalization in the meaning and art of life, as well as an instrument for correct and effective writing.
Download or read book Theories of Style written by Lane Cooper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theories of Style: With Especial Reference to Prose Composition; Essays, Excerpts, and Translations This volume, the editor imagines, may prove serviceable to teachers of English in more than one way. From its origin and apart from the style of the editor's translations it may be regarded first of all as a body of literary models to be used in illustration of some good hand book on English prose composition, by classes in what is technically known as Exposition, Le. Written explanation. The editor's conception of such a volume of models arose partly from his belief - which needs no discussion here that of the three generally recognized Forms of Prose Writing, namely, Description, Narration, and Exposition, only Expo sitiou can be advantageously taught as a practical art by the average instructor in English to the average class; partly from his objection to certain books of standard selections, which professed rhetoricians have seen fit to compile for similar purposes of illustration in the classroom. In his opinion these compilations suffer from one fairly obvious defect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Composition From English Models, Vol. 2 This book and its companion volume are the outcome of wide experience in the class-room. The method of teaching composition by means of the study and imitation of masterly passages of English prose is one that has been recommended by several great writers. Among them was R. L. Stevenson, who gained in this way his own fluent and individual style. In Composition from English Models an attempt has been made to systematize the practice, and the exercises are carefully planned so that the pupil may use each passage as an actual model.

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.
