Abraham Lincoln's stature as an American cultural figure grows from
his political legacy. In today's milieu, the speeches he delivered
as the sixteenth president of the United States have become
synonymous with American progress, values and exceptionalism. But
what makes Lincoln's language so effective? Highlighting matters of
style, affect, nationalism and history in nineteenth-century
America, this collection examines the rhetorical power of Lincoln's
prose - from the earliest legal decisions, stump speeches,
anecdotes and letters, to the Gettysburg Address and the lingering
power of the Second Inaugural Address. Through careful analysis of
his correspondence with Civil War generals and his early poetry,
the contributors, all literary and cultural critics, give readers a
unique look into Lincoln's private life. Such a collection enables
teachers, students, and readers of American history to assess the
impact of this extraordinary writer - and rare politician - on the
world's stage.
