Annotation |
American historian examines the thought behind the Gettysburg Address. Wills traces Lincoln's use of funeral oratory to the Greek Revival movement. He focuses on the culture of the rural-cemetery movement, the role of Transcendentalism, and the president's revolutionary idea that the ideals of equality in the Declaration of Independence take precedence over the Constitution. Bestseller. Pulitzer Prize.
