Description
In 1918, William Strunk Jr., a lecturer in English at Cornell University, wrote a short guide to style for his students. He aimed to show them how to write crispt, concise text that would inform readers as swiftly and clearly as possible. Strunk outlined eight "elementary rules of usage," just ten "elementary principles of composition," and "a few matters of form." The book has been in print ever since.
