It is the best-known, most influential prescriptive treatment of English grammar and usage, and often is required reading and usage in U.S. high school and university composition classes. This edition of The Elements of Style details eight elementary rules of usage, ten elementary principles of composition, "a few matters of form," and a list of commonly misused words and expressions. --back cover

Review of 'The Elements of Style' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Ce livre est particulièrement court, moins de 100 pages, et est souvent cité comme une référence par les écrivains anglo-saxons, qu'ils soient amateurs ou professionnels.

J'ai trouvé sa lecture plutôt intéressante et instructive, même si une partie des leçons ne s'applique qu'à la langue anglaise. Il y a cependant de nombreux éléments intéressants pour tous, quelle que soit la langue dans laquelle nous écrivons.

Je n'irai donc pas jusqu’à dire qu'il s'agit une référence indispensable, à moins d'écrire principalement en anglais, mais c'est tout de même un livre instructif avec quelques règles et conseils qu'il peut être bon de rappeler.
