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.
The future's not written in the stars, but etched in the palm of your hand – as Victorian mystic Rosa Baughan discovered to her endless fascination. Drawn from clandestine dinners with Parisian scholars, the wisdom of the Kabbala and more, this handbook is the product of her exhaustive research into the ancient art of palmistry. More than a century on, it still stands as the definitive guide for anyone seeking their first glimpse of tomorrow today. Prepare to astound your friends with your new-found knowledge: essential reading for anyone who's ever dreamed of unlocking their inner-seer.
This bold and compelling revisionist history tells the remarkable story of the forgotten lives and labours of Shakespeare's women editors.
