The Elements of Style

The Elements of Style," also known as Strunk & White, is a prominent American English style guide, first written by William Strunk Jr. in 1918 and expanded by E. B. White in 1959. The guide includes rules of usage, principles of composition, and commonly misused words. The 1959 edition added White's extensive revisions, while later editions modernized punctuation and gender-neutral language. This book's distinct tone, wit and charm have conveyed the fundamentals of English style to millions of readers."
