About
This book offers a detailed, line-by-line analysis of three of Abraham Lincoln’s most important speeches: the “Lyceum Address”, the “Gettysburg Address”, and the “Second Inaugural Address”.
Schaub argues that through these speeches Lincoln articulated a coherent vision of American national character—rooted in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the moral challenge posed by slavery.
By situating each speech in its historical context and examining Lincoln’s rhetorical strategies, the book invites readers to revisit the meaning of American purpose, identity and civic responsibility.
"An astute blend of history and textual analysis… [Schaub] skillfully unearths biblical and literary allusions studded throughout the texts. Lincolnophiles with a literary bent will savor this rewarding deep dive." — Publishers Weekly- ISBN:
