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), which, after being revised and enlarged by his former student E. B. White, became a highly influential guide to English usage during the late 20th century.

Strunk was born and reared in Cincinnati, Ohio, the eldest of four surviving children of William and Ella Garretson Strunk.[1] He earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Cincinnati in 1890 and a PhD at Cornell University in 1896. He spent the academic year 1898–99 at the Sorbonne and the Collège de France, where he studied morphology and philology.[2]

Strunk first taught mathematics at Rose Polytechnical Institute in Terre Haute, Indiana in 1890–91.[3] He then taught English at Cornell for 46 years, disdaining specialization and becoming expert in both classical and non-English literature.[4] In 1922 he published English Metres, a study of poetic metrical form, and he compiled critical editions of Cynewulf's Juliana, several works of Dryden, James Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans, and several Shakespearean plays.[5] Strunk was also active in a gathering known as the Manuscript Club, an "informal Saturday-night gathering of students and professors interested in writing," where he met "a sensitive and deeply thoughtful young man named Elwyn Brooks White."[6]

In 1935–36, Strunk enjoyed serving as the literary consultant for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film Romeo and Juliet (1936). In the studio he was known as "the professor," in part because with his three-piece suit and wire-rim spectacles, he "looked as though he'd been delivered to the set from MGM's casting department."[7]

In 1918, Strunk privately published The Elements of Style for the use of his Cornell students, who gave it its nickname, "the little book." Strunk intended the guide "to lighten the task of instructor and student by concentrating attention...on a few essentials, the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated.” In 1935, Strunk and Edward A. Tenney revised and published the guide as The Elements and Practice of Composition (1935).

In his New Yorker column of July 27, 1957, E. B. White praised the "little book" as a "forty-three-page summation of the case for cleanliness, accuracy, and brevity in the use of English."[8] Macmillan and Company then commissioned White to revise The Elements of Style for republication. White's expansion and modernization of the 1935 edition sold more than two million copies. Since 1959, total sales of three editions in four decades has exceeded ten million copies.[9]

In 1900, Strunk married Olivia Emilie Locke, with whom he had three children, including the noted musicologist, Oliver Strunk.[10] William Strunk retired from Cornell in 1937. In 1945 he suffered a mental breakdown, diagnosed as "senile psychosis," and died less than a year later at the Hudson River Psychiatric Institute in Poughkeepsie, New York.[11] Strunk's Cornell obituary noted that his friends and former students remembered "his kindness, his helpfulness as a teacher and colleague, [and] his boyish lack of envy and guile."[12]

听说这是一本相当牛的书,特地想见识一下。 确实是很实用的书,里面都是非常基础的写作常识,但是即使有着丰富写作经验的人也很不见得能保证不犯这些错误。这是一本类似于《Effective C++》那样的经典之作。只可惜内容实在太少啦,刚刚有一点“真是不错的书”的感觉,就结束了...

知道这本书,准确地说是一本只有43页的小册子,是从徐宥博客上一篇介绍计算机科学经典书籍的文章。 徐宥说:“各位读者老大中有不少都是大学生,相信不少都参加过形形色色的英语写作培训班。如果当年您参加培训班的时候,老师没有介绍一本叫做 <The Elements of Style> (TEoS)...

W. Strunk Jr.的原著版本和E.B. White修订增补的版本有较大不同。 除了在前几章中的规则有增删外,White还单独增加了一章新的内容“An Approach to Style”,主要讲解了一些写作的宏观原则。这些原则和前几章所讲的规则相比,更抽象更一般化,有些原则不仅限于英文写作,也可...

我有时看字,有时写字。上过十数年语文课。像很多人一样,我在课堂外读书,在课堂内睡觉,在阅读中培养敏锐感觉,在睡梦中意淫前排美女。 我没有从读好书中学会写好书,却学会挑剔烂书。看烂书就像看H卡通里流着哈喇子的丑八怪猥亵美女,令我既恶心又愤怒。多余,滥用,浮...

其实就是文书写作的规范,甚至标点符号都有一堆规则.如果没有大量的阅读基础,书本里的要点你只会觉得陌生.我就是其中之一.
