Strunk and White's The Elements of Style represents the spoils of battle waged by the status quo over the century of its existence. It has become a cultural "treasure" tied to consumerist values for educated discourse as a white linguistic habitus that historically frames success in American society. This historiography of The Elements of Style shows some of the ways these ties have formed within the cultural, social, political and institutional networks around the publication of each of six of its editions. A new way of understanding William Strunk suggests that as an English philologist (Cornell 1895), he almost certainly would have been disappointed by the historically resistant discourse E.B. White composed. Early Strunk-authored editions of the book (1920, 1934) show the intellectual marks of his philological approach to language and textuality connected to people in history. After 1959, during E.B.White's proprietorship of the book, a reactionary classed, racialized and gendered style is sold and re-sold as a neutral and exemplary English language discourse. I argue that this abrupt discontinuity between Strunk's historicized language and White's language as the manners of the privileged is a mirror of the discontinuity between composition's important narrative about critical literacies and what is deemed "legitimate" language in the larger culture. White's connections to middlebrow literary production place TEOS into a constellation of middlebrow cultural pedagogy projects, such as the nineteenth century "conversation handbook," The Book-of-The-Month-Club, and The New Yorker. What William Strunk first created in 1918 as merely adjunct rules for Advanced Composition students, E.B. White and Macmillan Publishing's marketing department turned into a literary style guide to a white linguistic habitus that still passes today as the cultural norm for academic discourse. Strunk and philology, though, are resistant energies of the past offering valuable theories for radically addressing white hegemonic systems of power represented by TEOS and the academic discourse it propagates. This historiography is itself a philological project. As such, it unmasks and names the autonomous ideological character of the authorized knowledge contained in The Elements of Style.
