The classic writing style bible colloquially known as Strunk & White, signed by White. It was named by Time as one of the most influential nonfiction books of the 20th century. Initially written by Cornell University professor William Strunk in 1918 and privately published in 1919, the work advocated for clean and concise writing. In 1957 the style guide reached the attention of E.B. White at The New Yorker. White had studied writing at Cornell under Strunk in 1919 but had since forgotten "the little book" that he described as a "forty-three-page summation of the case for cleanliness, accuracy, and brevity in the use of English." Weeks later, White wrote about Strunk's devotion to lucid English prose in his column. White greatly enlarged and revised the book for publication by Macmillan in 1959. Inscribed to Louisa Kennedy, a former spokesperson for Iran hostage crisis victims alongside her husband and foreign service officer Moorhead C. Kennedy, Jr. (1930-2024) Anderson 6 pp.
