The Lively Art of Writing

A nuts-and-bolts primer on essay writing (and writing in general) that communicates clearly with a lot of personality and excellent writing as well. This small book is packed with advice not only on how to write different types of papers and essays, but also on how to create clean, concise sentences and clearly articulated arguments and ideas.

Examples from good writers and many exercises at the end of each chapter complement this exceptional tool. A staple of writing teachers for many years, this is a resource that will be valuable to students in the dialectic and rhetoric stages of a classical education.
