The Century Handbook Of Writing

By Garland Greever, Easley S 1884-1947 Jones, Easley S. Jones

Book Overview

A compass for writers, and a invitation to a vanished era of craft. The Century Handbook Of Writing speaks with clarity about how to shape thought into clear, compelling prose. This instructional manual offers a concise, accessible map of the writing craft basics-from punctuation rules and sentence structure guidance to the practical habits of revision and style that have sustained the american writing tradition. It reads as both a reference guide for writers and a teacher resource for classroom use, suited to student writers and seasoned readers alike. Far from a dry catalog, it treats rhetoric and composition classics with reverence, inviting readers to study discipline, form, and expression without sacrificing voice. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, the book is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, preserving a living thread from early twentieth century writing instruction. The pages offer a tangible link to a pivotal era, while remaining immediately relevant to modern writing practice and education. Whether you are a casual reader with an eye for historical craft or a bibliophile collecting foundational texts, this volume sits proudly on the shelf as both a practical handbook and a window into the enduring american tradition of close, thoughtful writing.
