With his brother, Francis George Fowler (d. 1918), he wrote The King's English (1906) and The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English (1911). H.W. Fowler's major work, planned with his brother, was A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1926), an alphabetical listing of points of grammar, syntax, style, pronunciation, and punctuation, whose depth, style, and humour have made it a classic.
