"Characteristics of the Handwriting"

The Poems of Emily Dickinson, (Harvard, 1955) -- assistant to Editor Thomas H. Johnson, Theodora Ward wrote "Characteristics of the Handwriting" (a detailed analysis explaining the way in which works were dated according to handwriting) found in the introductory material of the variorum edition.

For my thoughts on it: "Things To Wonder About." Or if you'd like to read it online, follow this link "Characteristics."
