The Elements of Style

The Elements of Style, English Writing Style Guide, A Teacher Resource Manual, The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White, is a prescriptive American English writing style guide comprising eight "elementary rules of usage", ten "elementary principles of composition", "a few matters of form", a list of forty-nine "words and expressions commonly misused", and a list of fifty-seven "words often misspelled". In 2011, Time magazine listed The Elements of Style as one of the 100 best and most influential books written in English since 1923. Cornell University English professor William Strunk, Jr., wrote The Elements of Style in 1918, and privately published it in 1919, for in-house use at the university. Later, for publication, he and editor Edward A. Tenney revised it as The Elements and Practice of Composition (1935). In 1957, at The New Yorker, the style guide reached the attention of E. B. White, who had studied writing under Strunk in 1919, but had since forgotten "the little book" that he described as a "forty-three-page summation of the case for cleanliness, accuracy, and brevity in the use of English." Weeks later, White wrote a feature story about Strunk's devotion to lucid English prose.

  • "Da quasi cento anni "The Elernents of Style" di William Strunk jr rappresenta negli Usa uno straordinario fenomeno editoriale. Un libro di didattica che ha formato tutte le generazioni americane dal 1918 ad oggi, vendendo milioni di copie. Ma in che cosa consiste il segreto del suo successo? Forse il punto fondamentale è che il libro non solo dice ciò che si dovrebbe sapere sulla scrittura, ma soprattutto non dice niente di più. Perché dentro vi è distillato solo l'essenziale. Dalle norme sintattiche all'analisi dei segni d'interpunzione, delle loro funzioni e di tutti i possibili usi; dalle norme compositive alle questioni di forma all'uso improprio delle espressioni linguistiche, fino a un approfondimento sullo stile e i suoi effetti. E questo in pochissime, essenziali pagine. Perché tutto il resto è talento e applicazione. Il libro è integrato da note di approfondimento e paragrafi aggiuntivi per il lettore italiano."
