　　Early in the history of English, the words "grammar" and

"glamour" meant the same thing: the power to charm. Roy Peter

Clark, author of Writing Tools, aims to put the glamour

back in grammar with this fun, engaging alternative to stuffy

instructionals. In this practical guide, readers will learn

everything from the different parts of speech to why effective

writers prefer concrete nouns and active verbs. THE GLAMOUR OF

GRAMMAR gives readers all the tools they need to"live inside the

language"--to take advantage of grammar to perfect their use of

English, to instill meaning, and to charm through their writing.

With this indispensable book, readers will come to see just how

glamorous grammar can be.

书籍介绍

Grammar is a subject that typically induces wincing, wheezing, or worse. Clark, a lifelong whiz at the subject, wants readers to fully appreciate the importance of good grammar and the qualities of superior writing. To that end, he has laid out several entertaining, easy-to-follow rules, governing everything from punctuation to alliteration, that promise to dramatically improve one's writing and develop an appreciation for language. Clark draws on examples ranging from DeLillo to Rowling, a breadth of text that readers will appreciate as much as the author's humorous approach. Who knew that a discussion of grammar could induce laughter? This is an eminently readable, extremely enjoyable guide that readers will find highly useful on their path to development, not just as writers, but as readers.
