About Strunk Jr.:

William Strunk, Jr. (July 1, 1869, Cincinnati, Ohio – September

26, 1946, Ithaca, New York) was Professor of English at

Cornell University and is best known as the author of the first

editions of The Elements of Style, a best-selling guide to English

usage. This book, printed as a private edition in 1918 for

the use of his students, became a classic on the local campus,

known as "the little book", and its successive editions have

since sold over ten million copies. In his first edition, Strunk

describes the book as follows: "It aims to lighten the task of instructor

and student by concentrating attention … on a few essentials,

the rules of usage and principles of composition most

commonly violated." This original was revised in 1935 by

Strunk and Edward A. Tenney and published under the title

The Elements and Practice of Composition. After Strunk's

death, it was again revised by E. B. White, an editor at The

New Yorker who had been one of Strunk's students. This 1959

edition of The Elements of Style (often referred to as simply

Strunk & White) became a companion to millions of American

writers and college freshmen. Strunk earned his bachelor's degree

at the University of Cincinnati in 1890, and Ph.D. at Cornell

University in 1896. While he taught English at Cornell for

forty-six years, the only other book Strunk wrote was English

Metres (published locally in 1922). Better known as an editor,

Strunk edited important works by authors including William

Shakespeare, John Dryden, and James Fenimore Cooper. He

served as literary consultant to the 1936 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

film version of Romeo and Juliet. Strunk married Olivia Emilie

Locke in 1900, and they had two sons and a daughter.
