In Britain.... [o]nly in the 1930s was the semi-cursive or joined-up style known as round hand developed. Most schools now teach a variant of this.

I wonder what Gilbert and Sullivan, the famed Victorian era British operetta writers, were talking about in the song "When I Was A Lad" in H. M. S. Pinafore, penned in the late 1800s, when they wrote "... and I copied all the letters in a big round hand."
