Title: Handwriting of the Twentieth Century
First published: 1999
Description: "As letter-writing has fallen by the wayside, the art of lavish yet legible handwriting is no longer being taught to schoolchildren or employed in daily life - much to the dismay of those who receive hastily scrawled love notes or try to decipher a doctor's prescription. In an age when script manuals for students are disappearing at a rapid rate and writing samples are ephemeral, Rosemary Sassoon's Handwriting of the Twentieth Century provides the first historical record of teaching the skill of writing in the last 100 years."--book jacket.
