Abraham Lincoln occupies a unique place in the American pantheon.
Symbol, sage, myth and martyr, he is an American icon - Honest Abe
and The Great Emancipator, a Janus-faced demigod sculpted in
marble. But this is the post-assassination Lincoln. During his
lifetime Lincoln elicited very different reactions. The writings
and speeches presented in this scholarly edition illuminate Lincoln
as a political thinker in the context of his own time and political
situation. Opening with a concise yet rich introduction, the texts
that follow are complete and carefully edited, with extensive
annotation and footnotes to provide a clearer insight into Lincoln
the man, the politician and political thinker. His views on race
and slavery, on secession and civil war and on the contradiction
(as his saw it) between the Declaration of Independence ('all men
are created equal') and the original Constitution (which condones
slavery) are laid out in Lincoln's own well-crafted words.
