About this book

Handwriting in America: A Cultural History by Tamara Plakins Thornton. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300064773.

Copybooks 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.
