Author: WILLIAM HENRY HERNDON
Title: Herndon's Life of Lincoln. The History and Personal Recollections of Abraham Lincoln
Description: Da Capo Press, 1983. Paperback. Pp: 511. William H. Herndon's Life of Lincoln, written to counteract the worshipful view of Abraham Lincoln held by the public, caused enormous controversy when first published in 1889. Unlike the hagiographies that celebrate the selflessness of the Great Emancipator, Herndon's account emphasizes Lincoln's private life: his brooding, self-doubt, warring contradictions. Many have disputed Herndon's political and personal insights, in particular his famous conjecture of Lincoln's passion for Ann Rutledge, but no one denies the amazing amount of information he collected on his subject, the compelling narrative he wove from it, and the living portrait that emerges of Lincoln in all his human grandeur. ISBN: 9780306801952. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
