The Elements of Eloquence: Secrets of the Perfect Turn of Phrase

From the #1 international bestselling author of The Etymologicon and The HorologiconÂ comes an education in the art of articulation, from the King James Bible to Katy Perryâ€¦

From classic poetry to pop lyrics, from Charles Dickens to Dolly Parton, even from Jesus to James Bond, Mark Forsyth explains the secrets that make a phraseâ€”such as â€œO Captain! My Captain!â€ or â€œTo be or not to beâ€â€”memorable.

In his inimitably entertaining and wonderfully witty style, he takes apart famous phrases and shows how you too can write like Shakespeare or quip like Oscar Wilde. Whether youâ€™re aiming to achieve literary immortality or just hoping to deliver the perfect one-liner, The Elements of Eloquence proves that you donâ€™t need to have anything important to sayâ€”you simply need to say it well.

In an age unhealthily obsessed with the power of substance, this is a book that highlights the importance of style.
