Style (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419149863)

Style by Walter Horatio Pater is a comprehensive guide to the art of writing. Pater, a prominent English essayist and literary critic, explores the various elements of style, including diction, syntax, rhythm, and imagery. He also delves into the importance of individuality and creativity in writing, encouraging writers to find their own unique voice and style. Throughout the book, Pater provides examples of great writers and their use of style, as well as exercises for readers to practice and improve their own writing. Style is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their writing skills and develop their own unique style.And what applies to figure or flower must be understood of all other accidental or removable ornaments of writing whatever; and not of specific ornament only, but of all that latent colour and imagery which language as such carries in it. A lover of words for their own sake, to whom nothing about them is unimportant, a minute and constant observer of their physiognomy, he will be on the alert not only for obviously mixed metaphors of course, but for the metaphor that is mixed in all our speech, though a rapid use may involve no cognition of it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
