Analyzing Prose: Second Edition
A second edition from Continuum that does exactly what its title promises: it gives you a vocabulary for talking about prose style. Richard Lanham defines noun styles, verb styles, hypotaxis, parataxis, the running style, the periodic style, and a gallery of rhetorical figures. The diagrams and examples are plentiful; the design is functional, almost clinical, with the utilitarian cover of a textbook that expects to be underlined. It will not flatter you, but it will give you words for what you already sensed. Ideal reader: the writer who has been told their sentences are awkward but cannot say why, or the teacher who needs a shared terminology.
