The book is a comprehensive study of the nature of style in literature, with a particular focus on the works of some of the greatest writers of the English language, including Shakespeare, Milton, and Keats.Murry begins by examining the different definitions of style that have been proposed by various literary scholars and critics throughout history. He then goes on to explore the various elements that make up style, including language, syntax, rhythm, and imagery.Throughout the book, Murry argues that style is not simply a matter of personal taste or preference, but is instead an essential component of the literary experience. He contends that great writers are those who are able to master the technical aspects of style while also infusing their work with a sense of emotional depth and intellectual complexity.The Problem of Style is a thought-provoking and insightful work that will be of interest to anyone who is interested in the study of literature and the art of writing.
