OUTLINE FOR THE STUDY OF COMPOSITION AND STYLE
The following is a fairly complete outline of the essential elements of rhetorical theory as applied in composition work and in a study of structure and style. As such, it is designed primarily for the teacher who desires to review any part of the subject in preparation for teaching composition. Many portions may be used in the class room in a simplified form, to supplement or summarize parts of the text-books in rhetoric and composition. The books to which references are given are in general the most convenient and comprehensive manuals for the particular parts of the subject with which each deals.
The references as abbreviated in the outline are as follows:
(P), Pearson, Principles of Composition. Heath, Boston ($.50).
(W), Barrett Wendell, English Composition. Scribner, New York. ($1.50).
(M), Minto, Manual of English Prose Literature. Ginn, New York. ($1.50).
