Produktinformationen zu „The King's English (World Digital Library) (PDF)“
The Fowler brothers, Henry Watson and Francis George, write about grammar with the schoolmaster’s instinct to add a dash of whimsical humor to their lesson. Drawing from every day examples of incorrect usage found in newspapers, The King’s English appeared in London bookstalls in May 1906. Although reader response was favorable, reviewers for publications from which the Fowlers had drawn examples of ignorance and illiteracy for obvious reasons were less inclined to enthusiastically promote the manual. Still, many of the errors discussed in the Fowlers’ text have survived nearly a century of corrective efforts by countless teachers of grammar and composition.
Autoren-Porträt von H. W. FOWLER, F. G. Fowler
Henry Watson Fowler was a shy, reclusive scholar, a modest and gentle man who lived alone, hermit-like, in a one-room cottage on the island of Guernsey, about fifty yards from the home of his brother Francis. Each worked in solitude, first as translators, subsequently as grammarians. Henry characterized himself and his brother, both former teachers, as “two nobodies,” who would be thought presumptuous to point out errors of well-known authors and who probably should remain anonymous. After his brother’s death in 1918, Henry completed the monumental Modern English Usage (1926), which has established authority in matters of usage throughout the English-speaking world.
