In "Lincoln", acclaimed biographer Fred Kaplan explores the life of
America's 16th president through his use of language as a vehicle
both to express complex ideas and feelings and as an instrument of
persuasion and empowerment. Like the other great canonical writers
of American literature-a status he is gradually attaining-Lincoln
had a literary career that is inseparable from his life story. In
this book, the first to discuss the growth and development of
Lincoln's career as a writer, Kaplan focuses on the elements that
shaped Lincoln's mental and imaginative world; how his writings
molded his identity, relationships, and career; and how they
simultaneously generated both the distinctive political figure he
became and the public discourse of the nation. This unique account
of Lincoln's life and career will remind readers that the careful
and honest use of words is a necessity for successful democracy.
