Synopsis
The Longman Practical Stylist provides a wealth of practical information and a variety of organizational techniques to write more gracefully and effectively. Based on the premise that all writing involves arguing a thesis, The Longman Practical Stylist presents expository modes such as description, narration and exposition as strategies for supporting a thesis. A chapter on research discusses how to use online sources and the electronic resources at a library; a brief handbook section provides help with grammar issues; and a chapter on word usage encourages you to write with effective, colorful language.For many years, The Longman Practical Stylist has served as a comprehensive guide to solid, eloquent and persuasive writing. Author Sheridan Baker began his distinguished career in English literature at the University of Michigan in 1950 and retired as an emeritus professor in 1984. He received a Fulbright lectureship at the University of Nagoya, Japan, in 1961.
