The Alphabetic Labyrinth by Johanna Drucker
The letters of the alphabet have been the source of some speculation since their invention almost 4000 years ago. Through research this text examines the many ways in which the letters of the alphabet have been used in political, spiritual and religious systems over two millennia. The book also presents the more general history of lettering, printing and calligraphy, as well as using colour illustrations to support the text. The book provides a source to historians studying art, culture or typography.Johanna Drucker is a Yale University Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art. The Visible Word: Experimental Typography and Modern Art Practice, The Century of Artists' Books, and The Alphabetic Labyrinth: The Letters in History and Imagination are among her many works.
