You know the authors’ names. You recognize the title. You've probably used this book yourself. And now The Elements of Style –the most widely read and employed English style manual–is available in a specially bound 50th Anniversary Edition that offers the title's vast audience an opportunity to own a more durable and elegantly bound edition of this time-tested classic.
Offering the same content as the Fourth Edition, revised in 1999, the new casebound 50th Anniversary Edition includes a brief overview of the book's illustrious history. Used extensively by individual writers as well as high school and college students of writing, it has conveyed the principles of English style to millions of readers. This new deluxe edition makes the perfect gift for writers of any age and ability level. Fifty Years of Acclaim for The Elements of Style , by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White I first read Elements of Style during the summer before I went off to Exeter, and I still direct my students at Harvard to their definition about the difference between 'that' and 'which.' It is the Bible for good, clear writing.”-- Henry Louis Gates Jr. “For writers of all kinds and sizes the world begins and ends with Strunk and White’s Elements of Style . Only something to actually write abouttrumps the list of what is required to put words together in some kind of coherent way. I treasure its presence in my life and salute its fifty years of glory and accomplishment."-- Jim Lehrer “ The Elements of Style remains an unwavering beacon of light in these grammatically troubled times. I would be lost without it.” -- Ann Patchett "To the extent I know how to write clearly at all, I probably taught myself while I was teaching others -- seventh graders, in Flint, Michigan, in 1967. I taughtthem witha copy of Strunk & White lying in full view on my desk, sort of in the way the Gideons leave Bibles in cheap hotel rooms, as a way of saying to the hapless inhabitant: ‘In case your reckless ways should strand you here, there's help.’ S&W doesn't really teach you how to write, it just tantalizingly reminds you that there's an orderly wayto go about it, that clarity's ever your ideal, but -- really -- it's all going to be up to you." -- RichardFord “ The Elements of Style never seems to go out of date. Its counsel is sound and funny, wise and unpretentious. And while its precepts are a foundation of direct communication, Strunk and White do not insist on a way of writing beyond clear expression. The rest is up to the imagination, the intelligence within.” -- David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker “It’s the toughness–the irreverence and implicit laughter–that attracted me to the little book when I was seventeen. I fell in love with Strunk & White’s loathing for cant and bloviation, the ruthless cutting of crap, jargon, and extra words. For me, that skeptical directness included a tacit permission by The Elements of Style to break its rules on occasion: an alloy of generosity in the blade, a grace I still admire and still learn from.” -- Robert Pinsky “In the quest for clarity, one can have no better guides than Strunk and White. For me, their book has been invaluable and remains essential.” -- Dan Rather "Eschew surplusage! A perfect book."--Jonathan Lethem "Not until I started teaching writing and I reread The Elements of Style did I realize that most everything I would be teaching young writers, and everything I would be learning myself as a writer, was contained between the covers of this slim, elegant, wise little book. -- Julia Alvarez “Strunk and White seared their way into my brain long ago, and I benefit from them daily.” -- Steven J. Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics “Since high school, I have kept a copy of this book handy. That should be unnecessary. I should, by now, have fully internalized The Elements of Style . But sometimes I get entangled in a paragraph that refuses to be ‘clear, brief, bold.’ I dip back into The Elements of Style and am refreshed.
After Scott Simon interviewed me on NPR about whether the word ‘e-mail’ needs a hyphen (yes, it does), some listeners, including friends of mine, wondered why I had answered in the affirmative when asked, in passing, ‘Are you a drunken white man?’ Those listeners misheard. ‘Strunk and White man’ was what Scott said.” -- Roy Blount Jr. “Strunk & White--writing's good-natured law firm--still contains enough sparkling good sense to clean up the whole bloviating blogosphere." -- Thomas Mallon “I used Strunk -- that’s what we called it, Strunk -- as a student at Berkeley fifty years ago. I didn't know that it was new, and that we were the first generation to be educated in The Elements of Style . I got a firm foundation in the English language, learned to write basically, and could depict the realistic world.Then I was able to become an impressionist and expressionist.” -- Maxine Hong Kingston “Strunk and White's gigantic little book must be the most readable advice on writing ever written. Side by side with Roget, Shakespeare, the Bible, and adictionary, it's an essential forevery writer's shelf.” -- X.J. Kennedy...

評分峰哥一直推薦的這本書果然令人驚喜。讀完後纔發現寫作真是艱苦卓絕卻又樂趣無窮啊!英文也好,中文也罷,寫得清楚是底綫,寫得“好聽”,寫齣自己的風格,都需要曆練啊。
評分我覺得與其說是讀過,不如說是應該放在手邊隨時記得查閱纔更能發揮作用吧。

http://blog.caing.com/article.php?itemid=9537&preview=888 The Elements of Style,风格的要素,非常小的一本书,几十页,是最有影响力的英文写作指南。我读的是2000年第四版,边读边记,摘记如下: 对与错 段落,不是句子,是文章组合的单元。段落首句要么点...
評分最近接受一个网站的采访。其中一个问题是,给你最大影响的书是什么? 我给出的答案是 strunk & white 「the elements of style」。 我是在高中的时候读到这本书的。多年后才知道这是一本经典之作。但当时只是在高中那个收藏并不丰富的图书馆里,想找本英文写作的书。我当时正...
評分From my perspective, no book in shorter sapce, with fewer words, will help any writer more than this persistent little volume which the work remains a nonpareil: direct, correct, and delightful. Truth be told, i was a student that needed help in my punct...
評分这书开头非常简单,但翻到最后才发觉朴实无华的语法讲要背后的学问。 作为一名阅读爱好者,读到优秀的文字时,其实我不会特别有感觉。因为读的时候早就已经顺着作者的思想游走了,哪里顾得了去细细体味措词造句背后的艺术。可是,读到不好的文字时,却常常难受得抓耳挠腮。啰...
評分看这本书是因为英语e书房管理员写了强烈推荐,加之张五常和董桥的两篇推荐文章,才知道这本小册子在英文写作界的知名度。 先是花了两天的时间听完这本书的音频。一开始很吃力,因为之前就没有好好学过语法,对于标点符号的单词完全不认识。都是一边听一篇用灵格斯...
