The King's English by H. W. Fowler and F. G. Fowler
QR code
"The King's English" by H. W. Fowler and F. G. Fowler is a guide to English usage and grammar published in 1906. Written by two brothers, this precursor to the famous "Modern English Usage" examines vocabulary, syntax, and punctuation through extended articles rather than dictionary-style entries. The book draws on numerous literary examples and includes systematic analysis of grammatical puzzles. While some opinions now seem antiquated, this influential work remains in print
as a benchmark for English usage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
