Leaves From the Note-Book of Thomas Allen Reed, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of shorthand reporting and the life of Thomas Allen Reed, one of its pioneers. Having learned shorthand in his teens as a way to record speeches given by prominent men of the day, Reed went on to become a professional reporter. His tales of taking dictation at breakneck speeds and transcribing speeches late into the night, often with minimal assistance, offer a vivid insight into the challenges and triumphs of reporting in the mid-19th century. Beyond the practicalities of capturing the spoken word, the book also explores the evolution of shorthand as a system of writing, from its earliest incarnations to the development of Phonography, which Reed himself helped to spread throughout the country. Along the way, Reed recounts his encounters with fascinating individuals, from bishops to temperance advocates, providing a rich tapestry of social and cultural history. Through its exploration of the history of shorthand and the personal experiences of one of its most dedicated practitioners, this book shines a light on an often-overlooked aspect of journalism and the wider literary landscape of the Victorian era.
