Product Description

Product Description

The Canadian Writer's Handbook (CWH) is a comprehensive, college/university-level handbook designed to help students write with confidence in a variety of rhetorical situations. Building on the foundations laid by William Messenger and Jan de Bruyn over twenty-five years ago, Judy Brown and Ramona Montagnes have completely updated this comprehensive and authoritative text, which features detailed descriptions and examples of the entire writing process, from basic grammar, to constructing sentences and paragraphs, to pre-writing, to composing, and finally to proofreading and editing. The fifth edition has been slightly reorganized, with the discussion of principles of composition moved to the start of the book to better suit the needs of instructors and students. EAL icons point to new material of particular benefit to students learning English as an additional language. The discussion on achieving academic integrity and avoiding plagiarism has been brought up to date, as have all examples in the section on documentation.

About the Author

The late William E. Messenger and Jan de Bruyn, both emeritus professors of the University of British Columbia, produced the first edition of The Canadian Writer's Handbook in 1980. Judy Brown joined the project as an editorial consultant on the third edition; she is a senior instructor in the English department at UBC, where she teaches courses in Canadian and children's literature. Ramona Montagnes, also a member of UBC's English department, has been the director of the university's writing centre since 1992 and is responsible for the development of new courses and programs for the centre.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource, May 22 2007
By C. Scott (Vancouver, B.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was fortunate to have the late Bill Messenger as an English professor back in 1981. I still have my copy of the original edition, and I'm glad to see that Oxford U. Press has issued new editions of this classic. Simply put, the book has everything a student or writer will need. The book is comprehensive, to the point, and, most helpfully, offers both short and long samples of writing for review. This is a book you'll keep forever.
