In the original edition, Strunk describes the purpose of 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." The original was revised in 1935 by Strunk and Edward A. Tenney. 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. The 1959 edition of '' The Elements Of Style '' (often referred to as "Strunk and White") became the companion of most American writers as well as most College freshmen. EXTERNAL LINKS
