It rapidly became the standard work of reference for the correct use of English in terms of choice of words grammar and style. Much loved for his firm opinions passion and dry humour Fowler has stood the test of time and is still considered by many to be the best arbiter of good practice."" - Foreword to the World Classic Edition. After almost a century Fowler's monumental Modern English Usage remains the standard work in the genre. ""With no trace of pedantry with a constant sense that language is a living growth and with inimitable wit and humour Fowler compiled this complete guide to good sense and good taste in the choice of words. It was an entirely new kind of 'dictionary' concerned as it is with the meaning of the words the analysis of idioms only as a part of the discipline of their proper use. For the best part of a century H.W. Fowler has been the supreme lawgiver for English usage."" - Printing and the Mind of Man.

The depth style and humour of the work have made it a classic of English philology."" - Encyclopedia Britannica."" OUP hardcover
