Lincoln in the Atlantic World, by Louise L. Stevenson

Review "With this striking contribution to Lincoln studies, Louise Stevenson demonstrates how well the percipient Union president understood what the American republic meant to aspiring democrats worldwide. Deft, assured, and marked by no little originality, Lincoln in the Atlantic World is essential for an authentic reading of Lincoln's political thought and practice." Richard Carwardine, President, Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and winner of the Lincoln Prize with Lincoln: A Life of Purpose and Power"With this impressive new work, Louise Stevenson offers an astonishing breadth of analysis. This book succeeds in sketching out an entirely new, more global framework for understanding the intellectual and quite cosmopolitan influences that affected Lincoln in his own life." Matthew Pinsker, Pohanka Chair in American Civil War History, Dickinson College, and author of Lincoln's Sanctuary"The source base for Louise Stevenson's book is as wide as the oceans, while her writing is smooth sailing. Best of all, the new findings and the big interpretations are original and stimulating. This work will surely be debated at a high as well as a popular level, because the stories are so interesting and the topic so necessary." James Cornelius, Curator, Lincoln Collection, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum"Lincoln had an astonishing capacity for absorbing knowledge and making practical meaning of it, and Louise Stevenson's original and quite imaginative book shows how he incorporated knowledge from abroad or from his contact with foreigners in the United States. The 'rail-splitter' was quite a worldly man who always located the nation in the larger context of the world." Thomas Bender, New York University"Louise Stevenson convincingly demonstrates Lincoln's concern for the world beyond the United States by placing his everyday life in a series of contexts probably unfamiliar to most Lincoln fans today. She is particularly eloquent describing Lincoln's relationship with his British audience." Daniel Walker Howe, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848"Lincoln in the Atlantic World illuminates Lincoln's political visions, not merely of the United States as a successful republic, but also of the nation as a model for republican government across the world. The book is a truly valuable addition to our understanding of Lincoln the person and the politician and, more broadly, of the nineteenth-century United States in a global context." Martha Hodes, author of Mourning Lincoln"Analyze[s] several well-known stories of Lincoln's actions in terms of then-current events in Africa, Europe, Germany, and England, and how Lincoln applied what he had learned. Stevenson investigates new avenues into the mind, workings, and effect of this unusual man ... Recommended." R. J. Havlik, Choice

Links to Europe By Christian Schlect An interesting discussion of a number of European influences on Abraham Lincoln, some minor (his beard?) and others quite significant.I found most informative the material on the striking impact of recent German immigrants on the political process that led to Mr. Lincoln's election as president. This same Germanic influence was then extended through the full course of the Civil War in a number of ways, from the battlefield to the courtroom. Also good in this book was the useful reminder provided of the importance of England's John Bright to the cause of liberty.For those interested in reading more on the international connections to this man who never traveled abroad, I recommend Don H. Doyle's "The Cause of All Nations." And for those interested in the Prize Cases mentioned by Professor Stevenson, I recommend Jeffery L Amestoy's "Slavish Shore," a biography of the author and attorney Richard Henry Dana, Jr.

VARACALLI Professor Stevenson is very knowledgeable about Lincoln's relationship with the transatlantic world. It brings to life all the important aspects of countries such as Germany, Hungary,the UK and the people that came from there that had a great impact on Lincoln's career as a politician. It is a must read for those who want to learn more about the sixteenth president and who are fans of this iconic character in our history.
