"Style" by Sir Walter Alexander Raleigh is a critical essay written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the nature of literary style, examining its complexities and the intricate relationship between the writer, the instrument of language, and the audience. Raleigh's exploration encompasses various forms of art and expression, highlighting how style reveals the essential qualities of literary and artistic creation. At the start of "Style," Raleigh introduces the concept of style as an art that navigates the fluid elements of speech and expression. He reflects on the symbolic power of the pen and how it embodies the essence of human creativity, drawing analogies to other forms of art while recognizing the unique challenges posed by language. Raleigh posits that understanding the principles of style requires acknowledging the influences of the writer's medium and audience, leading to broader discussions of sound, picture, and meaning in literature. He sets the stage for an in-depth examination of how literary style operates as a vital force in communication, offering insights that resonate with both writers and readers alike.
