The Art of Writing

This invaluable work has proven itself to be a trustworthy guide for writers students and literary critics. The author F.M. Salter (1895-1962) produced a number of scholarly works in his special fields of Elizabethan and Medieval Literature but he was above all a teacher. The Art of Writing is a product of Professor Salters many years of experience and of his determination that no aspiring writer should fail for lack of encouragement and good sound advice. Chapters include: The Craft of Writing including language diction style and emphasis; The Virtues of Writing including brevity simplicity variety and significant detail; The Graces of Writing including sense appeal irony imagery and rhythem and The Art of Writing including enthusiasm restraint and sincerity.
