In February 2009, America celebrates the bicentennial of the birth
of Abraham Lincoln, and the pace of new Lincoln books and articles
has already quickened. From his cabinet's politics to his own
struggles with depression, Lincoln remains the most written-about
story in our history. And each year historians find something new
and important to say about the greatest of our Presidents. Lincoln
Revisited is a masterly guidePub to what's new and what's
noteworthy in this unfolding story-a brilliant gathering of fresh
scholarship by the leading Lincoln historians of our time. Brought
together by The Lincoln Forum, they tackle uncharted territory and
emerging questions; they also take a new look at established
debates-including those about their own landmark works. Here, these
well-known historians revisit key chapters in Lincoln's legacy-from
Matthew Pinsker on Lincoln's private life and Jean Baker on
religion and the Lincoln marriage to Geoffrey Perret on Lincoln as
leader and Frank J. Williams on Lincoln and civil liberties in
wartime. The eighteen original essays explore every corner of
Lincoln's world-religion and politics, slavery and sovereignty,
presidential leadership and the rule of law, the Second Inaugural
Address and the assassination. In his 1947 classic, Lincoln
Reconsidered, David Herbert Donald confronted the Lincoln myth.
Today, the scholars in Lincoln Revisited give a new generation of
students, scholars, and citizens the perspectives vital for
understanding the constantly reinterpreted genius of Abraham
Lincoln.
