Herbert Read
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Read's book describes the basic elements of composition and rhetoric: narrative form, eloquence, rhythm, and other important elements of what he asserts is valuable, worthwhile prose. The book is clearly dated, but it will be of especial interest to those studying works published before the Modernist movement in literature. - Summary by KevinS (8 hr 45 min)
