Writing Well, Longman Classics Edition

Angebote / Angebote:

Co-authored by two esteemed writers, Writing Well, is a beautifully-written and thoroughly readable guide to the craft of writing prose. Donald Hall, National Book Critics Circle Award winner and Pulitzer Prize nominee, and Sven Birkerts, recipient of awards from the National Book Critics Circle and PEN, bring their talents to this concise, lively text that covers all aspects of writing but is best known for its signature chapters on words, sentences, and paragraphs. Going beyond the basics of composition, the text teaches originality and elegance in writing, and encourages students to develop their own written voice. Sample student papers--including several works in progress--allow students to learn the writing process through the work of their peers. A brief handbook section rounds out the coverage. Sven Birkerts' new Foreword to this Classic Edition explores the cultural context of Writing Well's first edition and examines how it remains significant and useful over 30 years after its initial publication.
