Favorite pieces of writing: Although much has been written about Abraham Lincoln, there has been little rhetorical analysis of how this public man communicated with his listeners. Yet by studying his rhetoric closely, we can gain real insights into Lincoln as an orator, debater, jester, lawyer, statesman, leader, and president. America’s greatest public orator, Abraham Lincoln’s speeches still stirs the heart of any American who encounters them.
