"A marvelous cultural biography that captures Lincoln in all his historical fullness. . . . using popular culture in this way, to fill out the context surrounding Lincoln, is what makes Mr. Reynolds's biography so different and so compelling . . . Where did the sympathy and compassion expressed in [Lincoln's] Second Inaugural—'With malice toward none; with charity for all'—come from? This big, wonderful book provides the richest cultural context to explain that, and everything else, about Lincoln." —Gordon Wood, Wall Street Journal

My Journey Through the Best Presidential Biographies
David Reynolds&#;s &#;Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times&#; was published seven weeks ago (September ) and is currently the best selling book on the 16th president. Reynolds is a Distinguished Professor of English at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He is the author of nine books including &#;Walt Whitman&#;s America: A Cultural Biography&#; and &#;John Brown, Abolitionist.&#;
Reynolds describes his book as a &#;cultural biography&#; with the goal of placing Lincoln in the context of his era and exploring how the social currents of the times impacted him (and vice versa). But it is far more &#;cultural&#; and far less &#;biography&#; than some might suspect, and with pages of text (and nearly pages of notes) this oeuvre is not for the faint of heart.
The author&#;s premise is straightforward: Lincoln&#;s image as a self-made man is far too simplistic and his greatness is largely a result of his ability to tap into the culture of his times. Because of this, the book is less a comprehensive survey of his life and more a review of the factors which led to his political success. Reynolds also admits &#;
