Early in the history of English, the words "grammar" and
"glamour" meant the same thing: the power to charm. Roy
Peter Clark, author of Writing Tools, aims to put the
glamour back in grammar with this fun, engaging alternative
to stuffy instructionals. In this practical guide, readers
will learn everything from the different parts of speech to
why effective writers prefer concrete nouns and active
verbs. THE GLAMOUR OF GRAMMARgivesreaders all the tools they
need to"live inside the language"--to take advantage of
grammar to perfect their use of English, to instill meaning,
and to charm through their writing. With this indispensable
book, readers will come to see just how glamorous grammar
can be.
