(Samuel Beckett)

Being a reader of books, I am trying to get used to 
reading texts on screen. 
It is not easy at all. Not for me.

“Intertextuality as a literary device” (Sophie Novak)

6 July 2019

twitter: @eugenio_fouz

Intertextuality as a literary device

Sophie Novak

“Do you borrow phrases and concepts from other works in your own? If yes, then you’re using intertextuality, perhaps even without knowing it.
Though it sounds intimidating at first, it’s quite a simple concept really:
Intertextuality denotes the way in which texts (any text, not just literature) gain meaning through their referencing or evocation of other texts.” (…)

Hoefler typeface for Mac

23 June 2019

twitter: @eugenio_fouz

I have selected Hoefler Text typeface for my writings on my

Mac laptop. What I like most of this font is the clear difference

between the regular corpus writing from the italics.

Excerpt taken from Dr. Mark Womack´s website

“In 1991 Apple commissioned Jonathan Hoefler to design a font that could show off the Mac’s ability to handle complex typography. The result was Hoefler Text, included with every Mac since then. The bold weight of Hoefler Text on the Mac is excessively heavy, but otherwise it’s a remarkable font: compact without being cramped, formal without being stuffy, and distinctive without being obtrusive. If you have a Mac, start using it.”

“The day of his death was a dark cold day” (W. H. Auden)

23 June 2019

twitter: @eugenio_fouz

W. H. Auden, poet

In Memory of W.B. Yeats

“He disappeared in the dead of winter:

The brooks were frozen, the airports almost deserted,

And snow disfigured the public statues;

The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day.

What instruments we have agree

The day of his death was a dark cold day.

 

 

Far from his illness

The wolves ran on through the evergreen forests,

The peasant river was untempted by the fashionable quays;

By mourning tongues

The death of the poet was kept from his poems.”

Text formatting via Butterick´s Practical Typography

15 June 2019

Extract from Butterick´s Practical Typography 

“In a printed document, don’t underline. Ever. It’s ugly and it makes text harder to read. See for yourself—

Underlining is another dreary typewriter habit. Typewriters had no bold or italic styling. So the only way to emphasize text was to back up the carriage and type underscores beneath the text. It was a workaround for shortcomings in typewriter technology.

A Writing Handbook (Dr. Mark Womack)

14 June 2019

twitter: @eugenio_fouz

 

Extract from A Writing Handbook by Dr Mark Womack

A Writing Handbook

Introduction

“Most writing handbooks try to cover every conceivable aspect of composition, style, grammar, and punctuation. This handbook has more modest goals and a more strategic focus.

This online handbook only covers the topics I typically need to review for my college writing students. So the advice offered here principally applies to those learning to write formal, academic essays. Moreover, I don’t cover the few topics I do discuss comprehensively. There are, for example, many rules for using commas. I deal with only a handful of them because those are the comma issues my students encounter most often and find most puzzling. In short, the scope and depth of this handbook matches the needs of a very specific audience: college students in English and Composition classes.

Recommended Writing Resources

Anyone serious about the craft of writing will, of course, need more comprehensive guides to composing correct and elegant prose than the one provided here. If you want more (and better) help with your writing, here are some resources I both recommend and use myself.

William Strunk and E. B. White’s The Elements of Style is a classic and deservedly so. Unlike most writing handbooks it’s so brief you can easily read it cover-to-cover. (And if you want to improve your writing, you probably should.)”
