Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Composition in Theory and Practice The authors of this book make no claim to originality, save in the general plan of the volume, and in certain applications of familiar principles. Our purpose has been to combine, in one book, a set of directions for good writing, directions based upon sound principles and written, primarily, for the student, with a varied and extensive collection of examples drawn from all the forms of discourse, and inclusive of both brief excerpts and complete essays, arguments, and stories. We have added supplementary material in the several appendices, and a selected list of books which may be used with this manual, or consulted for parallel discussions of the topics here taken up. Exposition, Argument, Description, and Narrative present differing problems in the teaching of English Composition, and vary in their degree of usefulness with the individual, the course, and the institution. We have endeavored to give to each the proportionate space and the kind of treatment which the average student requires. The whole composition, the paragraph, the sentence, and the word have been discussed in their relation to Exposition, because, for the average student, it is the power to explain clearly which is of primary importance. Thus Exposition has been given a predominant space. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
