Synopsis
Essays On Style, Rhetoric, And Language by Thomas De Quincey. This volume collects De Quincey’s influential discussions on how prose is constructed, how language evolves with society, and how style and publication shape literary criticism. Edited with introduction and notes by Fred N. Scott, the book surveys the theory and practice of writing, including the Essay on Style, the Essay on Rhetoric, and the Essay on Language, along with discussions on the English language, the development of prose, and the epochs of Greek literature. The editor places De Quincey’s remarks in context, while the author’s generous and often provocative observations challenge conventional views on what makes English prose effective. The work also includes related discussion on the twofold aims of literature—the “literature of knowledge” and the “literature of power”—and argues for the central role of style in public discourse, education, and the transmission of ideas. A foundational text for students of rhetoric, linguistics, and the history of English prose, it remains a key reference for how form and substance interact in literary criticism.
