9780857191878: Style (Harriman Modern Classics): The Art of Writing Well

Synopsis

Lost for almost forty years, Style has acquired the status of a legend. Loved by some of the greatest modern authors and acclaimed by critics, this guide to recognising and writing stylish prose was written by a Cambridge don and veteran of Bletchley Park. Imbued with a lifetime of wit and wisdom, it retains its power today. Writing forcefully and persuasively has never mattered so much - and Style is the perfect guide for the busy, the ambitious, and the creative. With unique authority and good humour, F. L. Lucas takes us through his ten points of effective prose style and provides a tour of some of the best (and worst) that has been written in a number of languages and literatures. Wry, perceptive and rich in quotation and anecdote, the book reads like a personal conversation on the art of writing well - with a master of the art.

Product Description

[ STYLE THE ART OF WRITING WELL BY LUCAS, F.L.](AUTHOR)PAPERBACK

Review

'Style is filled with fine things ... F. L. Lucas wrote the best book on prose composition for the not-so-simple reason that, in the modern era, he was the smartest, most cultivated man to turn his energies to the task.' --Joseph Epstein, The New Criterion (2011)

'Lucas's advice can do nothing but good. His own style illustrates the virtues he commends.' --The Guardian

'This book is certain to delight many readers and could help many writers.' --The Sunday Times

Like C.S. Lewis, Lucas is a most amiable companion who shares hard-won learning lightly and without pretense --Harold Henkel, Regent University

'This book is certain to delight many readers and could help many writers.' --The Sunday Times

I have put Style on my nearest shelf, and I would like to make the honest (not defiant) challenge to any reader to knock it down. --Boyd Holmes, Active Voice magazine

'This book is certain to delight many readers and could help many writers.' --The Sunday Times
