H. W. Fowler and F. G. Fowler : The King's English
Leonard Woolf to Lytton Strachey, 22 September 1918: 'V[irginia]. induced me to buy The King's English, a book which teaches you exactly how not to write. The difficulty is that that is precisely what it does do, and now I cannot write a sentence, because as soon as I get one down, I see that it is exactly like some horror of Miss [Marie] Corelli [popular novelist]'s quoted as a warning in that damned book.'
