- Description
- Episode Description
- This episode shows how to narrow a paragraph until it is small enough to work with convincingly. One sentence can be written many different ways, each having different meaning. Professor Peterson tells how the historian, Francis Parkman, writes a paragraph, how a good amateur does, and how Rumer Godden does. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
- Series Description
- The Quill is a course in writing that is basic enough to be of value to the businessman, the housewife, the engineer, or the beginning poet, novelist or short story writer. The course deals first with simple style, particularly as it applies to the selection of words; secondly, with the construction of sentences that are clear and powerful; and third, with the organization of paragraphs that are pleasant and persuasive. Throughout, the course suggests that the study of the art and craft of writing increases our pleasure in good thinking and in good reading. The 13 half-hour episodes that comprise this series were originally recorded on kinescope. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
