Description
In these 11 articles, written over a period of 40 years and originally published in journals such as Atlantic Monthly and Partisan Review, Barzun presents his ideas of good writing and how it can be achieved, and discusses the problems of editing and publishing. The collection includes an essay giving practical advice for dealing with writer's block, one on the pitfalls of translating, and one on Lincoln's prose style. Other topics include: Poe's deficiencies as a proofreader; the foibles of publishing practices as they affect the writer; the encroachment of copywriters on an author's meaning; and recent efforts to desex the English language. ISBN 0-226-03858-0 (pbk.): $5.95.
