The student was instructed to know what the parts of speech were in order to give him "power over words."<br /><br />Adverbs were mentioned in the same context in the 1935 and 1936 editions of The Elements and Practice of Compositions reportedly revised by Strunk and Tenney, (Strunk was in Hollywood during this time).<br /><br />Adverbs were not mentioned in the c1940s edition, the outline of which reverted back to the old Strunk editions.<br /><br />Adverbs are not mentioned in the first four sections of the 1959 edition. But in the fifth section, "An Approach to Style," E. B. White encourages the student to "write with nouns and verbs, not with adjectives and adverbs." White does, however, show by use of Allingham's poem that adjectives and adverbs "are indispensable parts of speech."Jerry Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692297896214444738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693447195304802204.post-87595719301079458322014-04-26T10:38:56.351-04:002014-04-26T10:38:56.351-04:00Hi, I have noticed that there is no mention of adv...Hi, I have noticed that there is no mention of adverbs in the 1919 edition but in the Strunk & White editions adverbs come in for criticism. Do you have any idea when adverbs were first included?
