Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend any great 'English grammar' books pre-1923 ( i.e. public
domain)? I've run a quick search on Amazon.co.uk and no fewer than 4,402 search results were returned! I need to break this list down into say...the top 10. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone,
hi Chris:
A classic on English Grammar is H.W. Fowler's "The King's English" (1908).
It is available on line at Bartleby's: http://www.bartleby.com/116/index.html .
See also another version at: http://www.write-better-english.com/Fowler's-English.aspx
The problem with these old books is that grammar has changed, and it may seem outdated, according to current usage.
Best Regards,
