This seminal book, often referred to simply as 'Strunk & White', after being revised and expanded by E.B. White, has long been esteemed in the academic and literary communities for its concise and assertive guidelines on writing English prose. Strunk earned his Ph.D. in Philology from Cornell University in 1896 and committed his life to the intricacies of English language and composition. Strunk's literary style is characterized by its advocacy for clarity, brevity, and the active voice. His 'little book', as it has been affectionately dubbed, champions the use of clear and concise language. His influence extends far beyond the decades of his teaching career, as 'The Elements of Style' remains a staple text within educational curricula and is hailed by writers and editors as a definitive guide to English style and usage.
