"Style and the Man" by Meredith Nicholson is an essay collection that examines the importance of unique expression in writing, explaining how it impacts writers and their audiences. Nicholson looks closely at the details of language, suggesting that style is a personal characteristic that is hard to imitate, and points to writers like Hawthorne and Stevenson to support his ideas. He argues that style goes beyond the surface of writing, linking it to honesty and the emotional effect of the text. The author shows that great writers have a voice of their own, which mirrors their own views. Different styles stir different emotions and connect with readers uniquely, so the skillful use of language is key to expressing the complexities of being human.
