BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
Jul 31, 2019
Championed by Nancy LoBalbo, who shares our sentiment that while there are many excellent (and a lot more not-so-good) guides to writing, none is as beloved as this little book, originally written and privately published by Cornell University professor William Strunk Jr. in the early twentieth century, then revised and amplified by his student, E. B. White, in 1959. We could say more, but, since, as Strunk and White instruct, “A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences,” we guess we should stop.
