책 소개

Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts, This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subject only in outline, but that every word tell.

William Strunk Jr. (1 July 1869 – 26 September 1946), was a professor of English at Cornell University and author of the The Elements of Style (1918). After revision and enlargement by his former student E. B. White, it became a highly influential guide to English usage during the late 20th century, commonly called Strunk & White.

저자(글) White, E.

엘윈 브룩스는 미국의 작가이며, 시인이며 기자이자, 칼럼니스트였다. 그의 작품 세계는 논문에서 아이들의 소설에 이르기까지 다양했다. 그가 공동저자였던 책, 'The Elements of Style'은 글쓰기의 기본서적처럼 대학가에서 고전으로 일컬어지고 있으며, 그는 칼럼니스트, 야구 기자, 그리고 오랫동안 뉴요커의 편집자로써 언론인의 역할로도 잘 알려져있다. 그가 국내에서 가장 잘 알려진 것은 어린이 작가로서의 명성이다. 그는 총 3권의 어린이 책을 썼는데, '스튜어트 리틀', '샬롯의 거미줄', '트럼펫 백조'가 그 작품들이다. 그 중 '샬롯의 거미줄'은 어린이책의 고전으로 꼽히고 있으며 이 책을 쓴 후 그는 1953년 뉴베리상 수상 , 1970년 the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal 등 많은 상의 영예를 얻게 된다.
