Mark Forsyth presents the secret of writing unforgettable phrases, uncovering the techniques that have made immortal such lines as 'To be or not to be' and 'Bond. James Bond.'

In his inimitably entertaining and witty style, he takes apart famous quotations and shows how you too can write like Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde or John Lennon.

Crammed with tricks to make the most humdrum sentiments seem poetic or wise, The Elements of Eloquence reveals how writers through the ages have turned humble words into literary gold - and how you can do the same.

Mark Forsyth is clearly a man of many words. It's not just that he knows many (he does) but that he knows so much about them. In this book, Forsyth presents brilliant brief explanations on a variety of useful devices that will make your writing better, and he cleverly links each chapter to the next one in a way that makes it hard to stop reading. For any writer or lover of the English language, I can't recommend this book (or any of Forsyth's others) highly enough.
