By Walter Alexander Raleigh

Book Overview

""Style"" by Sir Walter Raleigh is a book that explores the art of writing and the importance of style in literature. Raleigh, a renowned writer and historian, offers insights and advice on how to write effectively and eloquently. He discusses the different elements of style, such as diction, syntax, and imagery, and how they can be used to create a powerful and memorable piece of writing. Throughout the book, Raleigh uses examples from classic literature to illustrate his points and provide inspiration for aspiring writers. ""Style"" is a timeless guide for anyone looking to improve their writing skills and create works of lasting impact.Style, the Latin name for an iron pen, has come to designate the art that handles, with ever fresh vitality and wary alacrity, the fluid elements of speech. By a figure, obvious enough, which yet might serve for an epitome of literary method, the most rigid and simplest of instruments has lent its name to the subtlest and most flexible of arts. Thence the application of the word has been extended to arts other than literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
