The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln Paperback - 1997

by Michael Burlingame

Add to wish list

Based primarily on long-neglected manuscript and newspaper sources--and especially on reminiscences of people who knew him--this psychobiography casts new light on Lincoln. Burlingame uses a blend of Freudian and Jungian theory to interpret the psyche of the 16th president.

From the publisher

Published to a flurry of praise--and consternation--from Lincoln scholars, Burlingame's book takes a hard and unsentimental look at, among other things, Abraham Lincoln's excruciating yet fruitful midlife crisis, his marriage to a dishonest woman who often embarrassed and sometimes physically abused him, his estrangement from his father, his explosive temper, and his aversion to women.

First line

Lincoln underwent a profound change between 1849, when at the age of forty he retired temporarily from public life, and 1854, when he returned to the political fray, emerging like a butterfly from a caterpillar's chrysalis.
