Produktbeschreibung

A spark of clarity, a craft refined by time. English Prose opens a doorway to the patient practice of writing, inviting readers to study how words shape thought and feeling. This collection offers a concise, practical approach to prose: instructional essays that illuminate the art of writing, a prose writing manual framed as an essay collection on writing. It pairs keen observations of English prose style with thoughtful guidance on structure, rhythm, and the craft techniques that turn intention into memorable pages. For aspiring writers and writing students, it is both a friendly mentor and a rigorous reference, rooted in early twentieth century British English context and literary criticism primers that endow every page with historical resonance and contemporary usefulness. Beyond its practical value, the book bears literary and historical significance: it captures a temper and method of an era when writing was a deliberate, public art, and it preserves a distinctive voice that has informed generations of readers and writers. For casual readers, it reads as engaging, human, and enlightening; for classic-literature collectors, it is a cherished artefact of a comprehensive guide collection, a dignified addition to any library. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
