Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the essential elements and qualities that constitute effective writing style. The author asserts that all styles convey a combination of intellectual, emotional, and aesthetic impressions on the reader. Each style is comprised of a unique combination of these qualities. The book's author further argues that to master these elements and qualities, writers must first understand the concept of good usage. Good usage refers to the commonly accepted standards for language use within a particular time and place. For written English, good usage can be considered the de facto standard of reputable, national, and present writers and publications. The author posits that all style is composed of words, sentences, paragraphs, and whole compositions. To achieve clarity, force, and elegance in writing, the author suggests adherence to three principles: unity, mass, and coherence. Unity suggests that all writing should revolve around a single central idea. To achieve mass, the important sections of any written work should be easily identifiable. Coherence, finally, dictates that the relationship between all parts of any written work should be readily apparent. By understanding the concepts of good usage and applying these compositional principles, writers can enhance their ability to express themselves effectively.
