Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Neil Armstrong, Jack Kerouac, Yoda:
these are just a handful of the writers and speakers whose words
are parsed in this diverting romp through sentences culled from
poems, essays, speeches, songs, fiction and film. In chapters
titled for distinctive features, such as "U-turn" and
"impossibility", master teacher Geraldine Woods deftly reveals the
underlying craft that goes into the creation of a memorable
sentence. Literature lovers will be delighted to discover new
authors and revisit favourite passages from a fresh perspective.
And writers who want to stretch their skills by following the
prompts in each chapter may well find themselves feeling as Henry
James did when he wrote, "I have many irons on the fire, and am
bursting with writableness." 25 Great Sentences and How They Got
That Way is a must-read book for any resister of grammar-bound,
sentence-diagramming analysis who wants to understand the art that
lifts a sentence from good to great.
