		Anyone who wishes to become a good writer should endeavor, before he allows himself to be tempted by the more showy qualities, to be direct, simple, brief, vigorous, and lucid.
		Both he and his brother, Francis G. Fowler (1870–1918), had been teachers before they began their literary collaboration with a translation of Lucian (1905).
		This reference work has remained a standard resource—serving generations of students and writers with common-sense rules of style and grammar.

		H.W. Fowler offers his readers lessons in grammar, pertinent examples and cross-references, delivered in a voice reminiscent of a firm but wise taskmaster (which he was, having spent 17 years as a teacher).
		Fowler, born in 1858, has been criticized for being too strict and old-fashioned, but there is an uncompromising integrity to his work that transcends time-lines.
		The reader's - - and writer's - - reward is in listening to the voice of the author as he delivers lexicographical sermons in a style rich in tone and as solid as his reputation.

		While Fowler concerned himself about an essentially dull subjects of lexicography and grammar, his writing was readable and often clever.
		Fowler may not have had an exciting life, it was his work that was interesting and far reaching.
		Fowler's somewhat eccentric life style such as the early morning runs and then a plunge into oceans or rivers, winter and summer, and his hermit-like life, is interesting once, but not when repeated endlessly.

	JamesBowman.net \| The Warden of English
		H.W. Fowler, for instance, everyone’s favorite authority on English usage for most of the century since he published (along with his younger brother, Frank) The King’s English, is an estimable scholar and a paragon of good taste but a poor subject for a biography.
		Fowler now appears a shadowy figure from the past, celebrated in his time like Lord Kitchener or Bishop Colenso, but unlikely to be of much interest to people today even if there were much more and much more interesting things to tell about him than Jenny McMorris has been able to find.
		She is writing at such a distance from her subject in time (he died in 1933) that there seems to have been no one left alive who knew him and who might have been interviewed for a first-hand impression.

		So in his teaching and in his research Fowler began to formulate a theology to account for people's life-long development of faith, and to include in his vision of faith the totality of human experience, not just intellectual beliefs.

		Fowler: A new convert needs a period of time where he or she is separate from the past.

	Language Log: Stuck inside of Fowler with the Memphis blues again
		Fowler footnotes transpire in order to explain that he oppposes it "[e]ven in the legitimate sense (see Malaprops), originally a happy metaphor for mysterious leaking out, but now vulgarized and 'dead'." Does he really mean that we should remove all dead metaphors from the lexicon?
		It was in 1909, the year after Fowler's work was published, that W.C. Handy moved his band to Memphis and composed the song that came to be known as The Memphis Blues:
		But, as the brothers Fowler show, even the English meaning is of American origin, and no doubt a few more years will see the verb completely naturalized in Britain.

		Part of it is because Fowler's reputation only grew after his death as several generations of writers sang his praises and adhered to, or sometimes fussed about, his many dicta on usage questions both great and small.
		What Fowler knew and preached was that before we could presume to be literary artists or journalists or even authors of readable letters we must of necessity, if we are to be effective, be craftsmen.
		That belief along with Fowler's celebrated passion for the concise and the correct, and his intolerance of ignorance and humbug, coupled with his sometimes incomparable expression, long ago won him the undying respect and admiration of careful writers of the English language the world over.

	Irony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dramatic irony lies in the audience's deeper perceptions of a coming fate, which contrast with a character's lack of knowledge about it.
		Fowler, in Modern English Usage, had this to say of irony:
		Irony is a form of utterance that postulates a double audience, consisting of one party that hearing shall hear and shall not understand, and another party that, when more is meant than meets the ear, is aware, both of that "more" and of the outsider's incomprehension.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		I was reading your Word of the Day article at decimate and found a mention of H. Fowler's strenuous objection to the term bureaucrat.
		Fowler did discuss the term bureaucrat in his 1926 Modern English Usage, but he was complaining only that it was difficult to pronounce, and would be easier if the "-eau-" spelling were changed to "-o-" (as in "aristocrat").
		To Fowler, it wasn't a newly coined word: the OED shows that bureaucracy is first recorded in 1834 and bureaucrat in 1842.

		Fowler made his real mark on the English language only after moving to the remote island of Guernsey in 1903.
		He and his brother, Francis George Fowler, proposed to write "a sort of English composition manual, from the negative point of view, for journalists & amateur writers." The outcome, The King's English, was published by the Oxford University Press and quickly became a de facto standard.
		Fowler addressed these point in A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, first published in 1926 and still in print.

		Fowler's knowledge and wit shine through his own work; Burchfield's tendentious, plodding and pseudo-scholarly revision has left little trace of such elements.
		And if you want to see why Fowler is such a marvellous source of reference and learning, read (in the second edition) his clear and authoritative exposition of the difference, which is now rarely understood, between a gerund and a participle.
		Fowler, second edition, is the one work of reference that you should own.

	factoids > English > split infinitive
		Because you wish to cling to a pointless affectation of usage that is without the support of any recognized authority of the last 200 years, even at the cost of composing sentences that are ambiguous, inelegant, and patently contorted.
		Fowler, Ernest Gowers, Eric Partridge, Rudolph Flesch, Wilson Follett, Roy H. Copperud, and others too tedious to enumerate here all agree that there is no logical reason not to split an infinitive.
		The English-speaking world may be divided into (1) those who neither know nor care what a split infinitive is; (2) those who do not know, but care very much; (3) those who know and condemn; (4) those who know and approve; and (5) those who know and distinguish.

	Reviews: Pocket Fowler; the Plain English Guide
		When Dr Robert Burchfield revised H W Fowler’s Modern English Usage, published as the Third Edition in 1996, it was greeted less positively than the good doctor might have expected.
		But the emphasis on the historical development of the language and on describing rather than prescribing usage means that its value as a practical guide is less than many either wanted or expected.
		The Pocket Fowler does advise, recommending that we use such forms with caution, since “rearguard actions continue to be fought over them” and that hopefully in particular can sound irritating.
