Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace

Livro como novo

Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace is a book, in many editions, principally by university professor Joseph M. Williams (1933–2008), with coauthoring and (later) posthumous revisions by university professors Gregory G. Colomb (1951–2011) and Joseph Bizup. The book aims to teach people how to write clearly and gracefully. Williams was a professor of English Language and Literature at the University of Chicago. He said, "It is good to write clearly, and anyone can."[1]

In the nearly half a century since the first publication, Williams and his main collaborators and successors, Colomb and Bizup, produced at least 19 editions of 3 titles that are all broadly similar in content and purpose and all share a theme of having 10 to 12 chapters that each cover an aspect of clear and graceful writing. Unlike the content of the books, which is clear, the marketing of the books is opaque, as one cannot easily tell what the intended differences are among them without buying multiple copies and comparing them. [original research?]

The answer from that exercise turns out to be (1) that all of the books have broadly similar content and purpose and (2) that the new editions periodically aim to further improve and to update the content.[citation needed] The books are:

• Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace
  • Originally titled Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace
  • As of 2024, 13 editions through 2021
  • Williams, Colomb, and (later) Bizup
