Matter, Form and Style: A Manual of Practice in the Writing of English Composition (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Matter, Form and Style: A Manual of Practice in the Writing of English Composition
But I may be allowed to emphasize here the principle which has guided me - namely, that in all forms of composition it is with the mass that one should begin at first, gradually paying more attention to the details of form and style. I have felt that many methods of teaching were doomed to failure because they took the component parts of a subject first, each part separately, so that the pupil could not see the wood for the trees. Whereas it would appear more human and humane to get first the creative act, and then shape the thing created.
