A Cultural History
Tamara Plakins Thornton
ISBN 0300074417
Yale University Press, 1996 |

and the Palmer method, handwriting analysis and autograph collecting
- these words conjure up a lost world, in which people looked
to handwriting as both a lesson in conformity and a talisman
of individuality. In this engaging history, ranging from colonial
times to the present, Tamara Plakins Thornton explores the shifting
functions and meanings of handwriting in America. |
