The Principles of Written Discourse

How to Master the Art of the Verb and Transform Your Writing

Verb Your Enthusiasm

This book is an interdisciplinary collection of concise investigations into everyday artifacts that matter to writers and writing.With the collection's 31 contributors and through the lens of material culture studies, the editors make a case that the study of writing is the study of artifacts. Each chapter centers on a distinct artifact, including an 1899 course notebook, the delete key, the graffiti spray can, Indigenous paper, the Ouija board, and a retirement home noticeboard, as a means of exploring what each says about writing culture and writing lives. Together, the chapters show that, even if at first we don't understand how or why, the artifacts that populate our lives deserve close attention. The close attention paid to artifacts in this book demonstrates both the particularity of possessions (this Ouija board or my delete key) and their universality, as so many people's experiences with writing depend on similar possessions. In this way, each represents a moment in writing's story and timeline, while also living in many stories and timelines, begging for artifactual study. While readers will easily recognize some artifacts in this book as writing artifacts, others illustrate how writing must be understood expansively, to capture the range of symbolic human expression and mirror the complex ways writing is experienced in people's lives, beyond the moment of inscription.An accessible, cross-disciplinary archive of contemporary and historical writing artifacts that matter to writing practice, this book will be of interest to writers of all kinds, as well as students and scholars of writing in fields including Writing, Literacy, and Rhetoric Studies; Material Culture Studies; Art History; History and Communication Studies.Chapter 21 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

This book delves deep into the complex, ethically fraught topic of proofreading of student writing by exploring a variety of perspectives on proofreading interventions in student texts.

A playful and irreverent argument for--and practical guide to--writing in a rich and extraordinary style When it comes to literary style, the commonplace wisdom of composition classrooms, newsrooms, and editorial offices has long been that less is more. Students are taught that the best prose is that which eschews ornamentation and rhetorical flourish. But what if sometimes more is more? In Praise of Purple Prose playfully and cheekily contests a century worth of convention that rejects the baroque and byzantine as "purple prose," making the case that fun and joy in language can be as important as concision and comprehension. Part style guide and part manifesto, the book rewrites the rules on writing. Ed Simon encourages writers to embrace the extraordinary, to call upon the classical rhetorical devices, and to relish in the richness of description and the erudition of allusion. He demonstrates that serpentine syntax, eccentric diction, and idiosyncratic punctuation, when used judiciously, can express the complexity of experience, bring out the pleasures of language, and help readers develop a unique voice in a world where AI threatens to make everyone sound alike. To illustrate its arguments, the book features examples of extraordinary prose from dozens of writers, including John Donne, Virginia Woolf, Joan Didion, Salman Rushdie, Marilynne Robison, and Zadie Smith. Playful and provocative, In Praise of Purple Prose will leave readers with a new appreciation for fancy prose and inspire writers to draw on all of the liveliest and most powerful resources of English in their work.

The Renaissance is one of the most studied and celebrated eras of history. Spanning the end of the Middle Ages to the beginning of modernity, it has come to symbolise the transformative rebirth of knowledge, art, culture and political thought in Europe. And for the last two hundred years, historians have struggled to describe what makes this famous golden age unique. In Inventing the Renaissance, acclaimed historian Ada Palmer provides a fresh perspective on what makes this epoch so captivating. Her witty and irreverent journey through the fantasies historians have constructed about the period show how its legend derives more from later centuries' mythmaking than from the often grim reality of the period itself. She examines its defining figures and movements: the enduring legacy of Niccolò Machiavelli, the rediscovery of the classics, the rise of the Medici and fall of the Borgias, the astonishing artistic achievements of Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Cellini, the impact of the Inquisition and the expansion of secular Humanism. Palmer also explores the ties between culture and money: books, for example, could cost as much as grand houses, so the period's innovative thinkers could only thrive with the help of the super-rich. She offers fifteen provocative and entertaining character portraits of Renaissance men and women, some famous, some obscure, whose intersecting lives show how the real Renaissance was more unexpected, more international and, above all, more desperate than its golden reputation suggests. Drawing on her popular blogs and writing with her characteristic energy and wit, Palmer presents the Renaissance as we have never seen it before. Colloquial, funny and brilliant, you would never expect a work of deep scholarship to make you alternately laugh and cry.
