The Elements of Style

By: William Strunk Jr.

Narrated by: Victor Craig

First published in 1918, The Elements of Style is an American English writing style guide, which have since become an essential tool for writers and educators in its numerous editions down the years. The rules of The Elements of Style are rooted in common sense and tradition. The original comprised “eight elementary rules of usage, 10 elementary principles of composition, a few matters of form, a list of 49 words and expressions commonly misused, and a list of 57 words often misspelled.” E. B. White greatly enlarged and revised the book for publication by Macmillan in 1959.
