Lincoln
and Freedom: |
|
“Lincoln
and Freedom provides abundant useful information, much of it new,
on Abraham Lincoln, slavery, emancipation and the Thirteenth Amendment.
Moreover, the authors deal with their subjects through a variety
of approaches and interpretive lenses, thereby furnishing readers
with several perspectives on these important subjects.”—Richard
W. Etulain, author of Beyond the Missouri: The Story of the
American West |

Lincoln
Revisited |
|
| 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 guidebook 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 |
