Write It Right With Strunk and White là tài liệu hướng dẫn viết tiếng Anh cơ bản dành cho các bạn tham khảo, học tập, ôn luyện. Sách này được thiết kế đơn giản, dễ hiểu nhưng cũng rất chi tiết, giúp các bạn nắm chắc ngữ pháp, thêm tự tin khi viết và sử dụng tiếng Anh.
Introduction
Want to improve your English? Write with nouns and verbs, not adjectives and adverbs. That's the advice of The Elements of Style, by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White.
White was a professional writer; Strunk was his Cornell English professor. In part for this reason, professional writers and teachers of English almost universally admire this book. The Associated Press Stylebook, for example, calls Strunk and White a "bible for writers." Few students graduate from an American college without buying at least one copy.
Despite its immense popularity with experts, many beginning writers find Strunk and White hard to use, rarely take it from their shelves, and privately wonder what all the heavy breathing is about. The purpose of this booklet is to explain, illustrate, and send you back to The Elements of Style.
Strunk and White presents 11 rules of usage, 11 rules of composition, and 22 style reminders—hints rather than rules—from E. B. White, one of America's most admired stylists. This little book, which in all editions is fewer than 100 pages, makes no pretense to replace authoritative works like the 871-page Chicago Manual of Style; The Elements of Style covers only a small part of English usage.
Strunk originally wrote it for his introductory writing class at Cornell. He printed it at his own expense in 1918 and again in 1919, the year E. B. White entered Cornell. Harcourt Brace published it as a commercial textbook in 1920. Strunk revised that edition considerably, adding for the first time the essential rule—use definite, specific, and concrete expressions. In 1934, the publisher brought out another edition, enlarged and expanded by Strunk's first and now virtually unknown collaborator, Edward Tenney. After retiring in 1940, Strunk authorized a reprint of the 1920 edition, omitting the Tenney additions and changes altogether.
