Synopsis

Advance your writing with a practical, advanced course in rhetoric and English composition.

This fourth edition presents a work that emphasizes doing—the exercises, problems, and discussion that build clear, correct, and vigorous expression in the freshman year and beyond.

This nonfiction work lays out a practical program for mastering the art of writing. It treats rhetoric as a craft to be practiced, with minimal emphasis on stylistic flourish early on and a strong focus on correct, lucid, and effective expression. The material blends concise guidance with a rich set of exercises to develop discipline in words, sentences, paragraphs, and whole compositions.
  • Hands-on practice with the elements of style: words, sentences, paragraphs, and whole compositions.
  • A catalog of exercises and problems designed for collaborative discussion and independent work.
  • Directions for writing themes, plus an index of abbreviated materials and passages quoted for study.
  • A scholarly framework and references to standard authorities to guide study and teaching.
Ideal for students beginning college writing, as well as teachers seeking a structured, exercise-based approach to rhetoric and composition.
