In an age unhealthily obsessed with substance, this is a book on the importance of pure style. From classic poetry to pop lyrics and from the King James Bible to advertising slogans, Mark Forsyth explains the secrets that make a phrase - such as 'Tiger, Tiger, burning bright', or 'To be or not to be' - memorable. In his inimitably entertaining and witty style he takes apart famous lines and shows how you too can write like Shakespeare or Oscar Wilde. Whether you're aiming for literary immortality or just an unforgettable one-liner, The Elements of Eloquence proves that you don't need to have anything to say - you simply need to say it well.

這本書是個修辭法入門總結,外行看瞭各種驚嘆,以後看英文都會有不一樣的感覺,會更敏銳去捕捉:哦原來如此這裏用瞭xxx(這種比較難),那裏用瞭xxx(這種是偷懶)。要推薦給非專業人士,又好笑又實用。莎士比亞的分析部分。各個修辭法常有許多舉例,哪個作傢最擅長這個。
