Produktbeschreibung

"[A]n astonishingly interesting interpretation...Fox is wonderfully shrewd and often dazzling." Jill Lepore, New York Times Book Review

Abraham Lincoln remains America's most beloved leader. The fact that he was lampooned in his day as "ugly and grotesque" only made Lincoln more endearing to millions. In Lincoln's Body, acclaimed cultural historian Richard Wightman Fox explores how deeply, and how differently, Americansblack and white, male and female, Northern and Southernhave valued our sixteenth president, from his own lifetime to the Hollywood biopics about him. Lincoln continues to survive in a body of memory that speaks volumes about our nation.
