The Elements of Style is a prescriptive American English writing
style guide comprising eight "elementary rules of usage," ten
"elementary principles of composition," "a few matters of form," a
list of forty-nine "words and expressions commonly misused," and a
list of fifty-seven "words often misspelled." In 2011, Time
magazine listed the writing style-guide as one of the 100 best and
most influential books written in English since 1923. Cornell
University professor of English William Strunk, Jr., wrote The
Elements of Style in 1918, and privately published it in 1919, for
in-house use at the university. In The Elements of Style (1918), as
a professor of English, William Strunk concentrated on specific
questions of usage-and the cultivation of good writing-with the
recommendation "Make every word tell"; hence, the 17th principle of
composition is the simple instruction: "Omit needless words."
