Punctuation for Now

The author describes how our system of punctuation has grown out of the history of our language. It shows the conventions that govern the best punctuation in the English language, according to the author, by drawing from literary examples from such authors as Amis, Waugh and Greene. John McDermott's previous publications include "Kingsley Amis - An English Moralist", "Hopkins in Lancashire" and "Selected Writings of Francis Thompson".
