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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to American studies. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$vCase studies 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1861-1865 615 0$aPresidents 615 0$aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects 676 $a973.7092 702 $aSamuels$b Shirley 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205649303316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Abraham Lincoln$92577274 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
