Reviews
Praise for Ward Farnsworth : Farnsworth''s Classical English Style : "An eloquent study of the very mechanisms of eloquence."--Henry Hitchings "A great and edifying pleasure."--Mark Helprin "A storehouse of effective writing, showing the techniques you may freely adapt to make music of your own." -- The Baltimore Sun "For writers aspiring to master the craft, Farnsworth shows how it''s done. For lovers of language, he provides waves of sheer pleasure."--Steven Pinker Farnsworth''s Classical English Rhetoric : "I must refrain from shouting what a brilliant work this is (præteritio) . Farnsworth has written the book as he ought to have written it - and as only he could have written it (symploce) . Buy it and read it - buy it and read it (epimone) ."--Bryan A. Garner, Garner''s Modern English Usage "The most immediate pleasure of this book is that it heightens one''s appreciation of the craft of great writers and speakers. Mr. Farnsworth includes numerous examples from Shakespeare and Dickens, Thoreau and Emerson, Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln. He also seems keen to rehabilitate writers and speakers whose rhetorical artistry is undervalued; besides his liking for Chesterton, he shows deep admiration for the Irish statesman Henry Grattan (1746-1820), whose studied repetition of a word (''No lawyer can say so; because no lawyer could say so without forfeiting his character as a lawyer'') is an instance, we are told, of conduplicatio . But more than anything Mr. Farnsworth wants to restore the reputation of rhetorical artistry per se, and the result is a handsome work of reference."--Henry Hitchings, Wall Street Journal Farnsworth''s Classical English Metaphor : "Ward Farnsworth is a witty commentator...It''s a book to dip in and savor."-- The Boston Globe "Most people will find it a grab-bag of memorable quotations, an ideal browsing book for the nightstand."--Michael Dirda, The Washington Post "I want this book to be beside my bed for years to come, a treasure-house of the liquid magic of words."--Simon Winchester "A feat of elegant demystification...Farnsworth is able to focus on the finite material of metaphorical referents...a brilliant strategy, both in its utility for writers and the inherent insight Farnsworth''s divisions suggest about metaphors." -Jonathan Russell Clark, The Millions The Practicing Stoic: A Philosophical User''s Manual : "As befits a good Stoic, Farnsworth''s expository prose exhibits both clarity and an unflappable calm... Throughout The Practicing Stoic , Farnsworth beautifully integrates his own observations with scores of quotations from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Montaigne and others. As a result, this isn''t just a book to read--it''s a book to return to, a book that will provide perspective and consolation at times of heartbreak or calamity."-- Michael Dirda, The Washington Post "It is reported that upon Seneca''s tomb are written the words, Who''s Minding the Stoa? He would be pleased to know the answer is Ward Farnsworth. "--David Mamet "This is a book any thoughtful person will be glad to have along as a companion for an extended weekend or, indeed, for that protracted journey we call life."-- The New Criterion "This sturdy and engaging introductory text consists mostly of excerpts from the ancient Greek and Roman Stoic philosophers, especially Seneca, Epictetus through his student Arrian, and Marcus Aurelius as well as that trio''s philosophical confreres, from the earlier Hellenic Stoics and Cicero to such contemporaries as Plutarch to moderns, including Montaigne, Adam Smith, and Schopenhauer... A philosophy to live by, Stoicism may remind many of Buddhism and Quakerism, for it asks of practitioners something very similar to what those disciplines call mindfulness."-- Booklist, Praise for Ward Farnsworth : The Practicing Stoic: A Philosophical User''s Manual : "As befits a good Stoic, Farnsworth''s expository prose exhibits both clarity and an unflappable calm...

Synopsis
"I must refrain from shouting what a brilliant work this is (pr teritio) . Farnsworth has written the book as he ought to have written it - and as only he could have written it (symploce) . Buy it and read it - buy it and read it (epimone) ."--Bryan A. Garner, Garner's Modern English Usage Everyone speaks and writes in patterns. Farnsworth is your guide to patterns known as rhetorical figures that can make your words more emphatic, memorable, and effective. This book details the timeless principles of rhetoric from Ancient Greece to the present day, drawing on examples in the English language of consummate masters of prose, such as Lincoln, Churchill, Dickens, Melville, and Burke. Most rhetorical figures amount to departures from simple and literal statement, such as repeating words, putting words into an unexpected order, leaving out words that might have been expected, asking questions and then answering them. All apply to the composition of a simple sentence or paragraph--repetition and variety, suspense and relief, concealment and surprise, the creation of expectations and then the satisfaction or frustration of them. Farnsworth's Classical English Rhetoric is for anyone who wants to be a better speaker or writer., "I must refrain from shouting what a brilliant work this is (præteritio) .
