Gettysburg Address – Wasson, Edmund A. That Gettysburg Address…, Ltd Ed.

Description

That Gettysburg Address, by Edmund Wasson, was written in the 1930s. It is an an unusual criticism of the Address, being a set piece of textual analysis. Most interesting in its attempt to rewrite Lincoln according to the rules of good rhetoric, divided into The Manner and The Matter.

Excellent.
