What Do I Read Next?
The book Writings from “The New Yorker,” 1925–1976 (1990), edited by Rebecca M. Dale, is a compilation of E.B. White's notable contributions to the magazine.
Gary Hoffman and Glynis Hoffman, authors of Adiós, Strunk and White: A Handbook for the New Academic Essay (1999), encourage young writers to abandon traditional grammar, structure, and objectivity. Their book offers a significant departure from the style advocated by Strunk and White.
The New York Public Library Writer’s Guide to Style and Usage (1994), edited by Andrea Sutcliffe, is as extensive at 838 pages as The Elements of Style is concise. It explores topics such as special characters in foreign languages and gender bias in language.
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft (2000), written by best-selling author Stephen King, is both an autobiography and a guide to writing. King discusses everything from crafting paragraphs to developing plots and even assigns writing exercises. He recommends The Elements of Style to his audience.
Charlotte’s Web (1952), a touching tale of friendship, is White’s most renowned and lasting children’s book.
