Temperament and Penmanship: Character Indicated by Handwriting by Rosa Baughan with Selected Letters by Rhoda Broughton

More about the book

Temperament and Penmanship is an edition of Rosa Baughan's 1877 work Character Indicated by Handwriting. With her knack for writing about the then taboo subjects of palmistry, graphology, and divination, Rosa Baughan has been dazzling readers since the Victorian age. Few authors of her time dared to touch upon such subjects. This unique book of research is paired with never before published letters to friends by Rhoda Broughton, a Welsh novelist. With signatures of Lord Alfred Tennyson, William Shakespeare, and Marie Antoinette, this book provides an interesting peek into the pseudoscience of graphology in the 1800s.
