The King's English: A Guide to Modern Usage | Kingsley Amis

3 posts | 2 read

A Parthian shot from one of the most important figures in post-war British fiction, The King's English is the late Kingsley Amis's last word on the state of the language.

The King's English: A Guide to Modern Usage | Kingsley Amis

pick

A guide to good English, along the lines of Fowler's venerable Modern English Usage, but much funnier. Amis pere went the usual route from Angry Young Man to crusty old blowhard during his career but he was rarely less than entertaining and this is a style guide that demands to be read from cover to cover.
