    Lincoln at Gettysburg
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2023*

I have read this book and loved it . The author, Garry Willis, compares Lincoln’s Address to Greek philosophy & oratory & death culture plus revolution in thought and style. The book is the best example of academic research & writing. I sending the book to my great nephewIn his 3rd year at college. I’m keeping my copy.

    Who knew?!
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2012*

This slim book is nonetheless a tremendous expansion on the very slim speech - the Gettysburg Address that many of us memorized in school. It sets the speech in the war, in the history of cemeteries in the US, and among the other speeches in the ceremony at Gettysburg that day. I would never have picked it up except that it was a suggested book for Cornell alumni. So glad I did - great reading for anyone who loves Civil War era history or who has always loved the Address itself.

    Lincoln the Radical
  

*by B***1 on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2001*

Literary prizes are handed out every year, but true worth is manifested by actual readers going out and buying their books year after year. Nearly a decade has passed since Garry Wills won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award for "Lincoln at Gettysburg," but the magnitude of his achievement is measured by the continued interest which book lovers have lavished on this thoughtful and debate-stirring work of history. Wills situates the Gettysburg Address in the Greek Revivalism exemplified by Edward Everrett (the forgotten featured speaker at the dedication of the Gettysburg cemetary), as well as in the Transcendentalist movement of Theodore Parker and Ralph Waldo Emerson. He goes on to demonstrate the inherant radicalism of Lincoln's 272 immortal words, imbued as they are with the dangerous notion that all men are created equal. Wills argues convincingly that the Gettysburg address hijacked the narrow readings of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution put forward by the southern rebels; through his words, Lincoln succeeded in placing these founding documents on the side of the angels by insisting that liberty and equality rather than sterile legalisms about states rights were the true basis of the grand experiment of the founders. In so doing, America's greatest President changed the history of the nation forever, influencing politics and policy right down to the present day. Huzzahs to Mr Wills for disinterring the radical hidden within the Great Compromiser!! And thanks to the prize committees for getting it right for a change.
