Hugo Bowles

Opis

In this ground-breaking interdisciplinary study, Hugo Bowles tells the story of Dickens's stenographic journey from his early encounters with the 'despotic' shorthand symbols of Gurney's Brachygraphy in 1828 to his lifelong commitment to shorthand for reporting, letter writing, copying, and note-taking.

Recenzje

This exciting suggestion is one that I hope Bowles will pursue on a larger scale in a later work. John Glavin, Georgetown University, VICTORIAN STUDIES
