The Elements of Style
William Strunk Jr. was a Cornell University English professor and the author of The Elements of Style (1918). After being revised and expanded by his former student E. B. White, it became a highly influential guide to English usage in the late twentieth century, popularly known as Strunk & White.
Professor Strunk's class at Cornell was attended by E. B. White, who used "the little book" for himself. White edited the 1959 and 1972 editions of The Elements of Style after being commissioned by Macmillan to rewrite Strunk's book.
You've heard of the authors. The title is familiar to you. You've most likely used this book before. The classic style manual, The Elements of Style, is currently in its fourth edition. A new Foreword by Roger Angell reminds readers that Strunk and White's advice is as relevant today as it was when it was first delivered. Millions of readers have benefited from this book's distinct tone, humour, and charm in conveying the basics of English style. Make a great impact with writing by using the fourth edition of "the little book."
