"description": "LibriVox recording of The Philosophy of Style, by Herbert Spencer, read by Gary Gilberd.

\u201cThe Philosophy of Style,\u201d explored a growing trend of formalist approaches to writing. Highly focused on the proper placement and ordering of the parts of an English sentence, [Spencer] created a guide for effective composition. Spencer\u2019s aim was to free prose writing from as much "friction and inertia" as possible, so that the reader would not be slowed by strenuous deliberations concerning the proper context and meaning of a sentence. (Summary from Wikipedia.)
