L. Doctorow. Here is a composite portrait of our greatest president told by the journalists, biographers, satirists, essayists, novelists, clergymen, poets, play-wrights, historians, memoirists, & statesmen who have shaped our understanding of Lincoln & his complex & crucial legacy over the last 150 years. The collection includes fascinating firsthand observations by Emerson & Hawthorne, satirical sketches by Artemus Ward & Petroleum V. Nasby, & surprising contemporary commentary by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Karl Marx, George Templeton Strong, & Horace Greeley. Moving eulogies by Henry Ward Beecher & George Bancroft join poetic tributes from James Russell Lowell, Henrik Ibsen, & Walt Whitman. Dramatically contrasting views of Lincoln are provided by his presidential secretaries, John G. Nicolay & John Hay, & his law partner, William H. Herndon. Lincoln's views & deeds on race & emancipation are examined by Frederick Douglass w/ keen critical candor, while his democratic virtues are extolled by Whitman in luminous prose. As Lincoln faded from personal memory his legacy grew, becoming more deeply resonant of abiding American themes?& also more contested. "The Lincoln Anthology" traces this evolution through the works of Lincoln's path-breaking biographer Ida Tarbell; through the defining poems of Edwin Arlington Robinson, Vachel Lindsay, & Edgar Lee Masters; through the political rivalry of Theodore Roosevelt & Woodrow Wilson, as they vie to lay claim to Lincoln's political mantle; & through the powerful writings of Booker T. Washington, Robert R. Moton, & W.E.B. Du Bois, who testify to the continued power of Lincoln's memory for African Americans struggling w/ the unfulfilled promise of emancipation. Later in the 20th century, Carl Sandburg, Robert E. Sherwood, & Mario Cuomo discover in Lincoln a democratic hero for new periods of crisis & conflict; Jacques Barzun, Marianne Moore, & Garry Wills explore his greatness as a writer; & Delmore Schwartz, Edmund Wilson, & Lerone Bennett Jr. make provocative contributions to the anti-Lincoln tradition. As the book draws to the present, Richard Slotkin, Adam Braver, & E. L. Doctorow exemplify the renewed vigor of fictional depictions of Lincoln at the beginning of the 21st century, & Barack Obama lays claims to an unfinished legacy as he announces his bid for the office that Lincoln so memorably transformed. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: HAROLD HOLZER, volume editor, is one of the country's leading authorities on Abraham Lincoln & the political culture of the Civil War era.
