I have been reading your blog a...Hi, Marie-Louise.<br /><br />I have been reading your blog and find it very interesting. Currently I am an undergraduate student of English, and am conducting research on pens and writing in the nineteenth-century for an independent research essay. I was wondering if you could help me with this research at all?<br /><br />In particular, I am looking specifically for the J pen, and I was wondering if this would be the same as the Brandauer 518? In Richard Marsh's 'The Beetle' one of the female characters uses a J pen, and the footnote to this is as follows: "A steel nibbed pen produced by C. Brandauer & Co., Birmingham, England, in the nineteenth century, and favoured by cartoonists and calligraphers." In another edition of the text, the editor notes that the character's choice of pen indicates that she is a 'new woman'. In my essay I hope to examine this connection further, but I am struggling to find any research on the J pen. I was hoping you might be able to furnish me with some further knowledge about the J pen, and any information you can share would be inordinately helpful.<br /><br />Thanks for your time.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />George WarburtonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11661534297851025036noreply@blogger.com
