The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln

Capa
University of Illinois Press, 1997 - 416 páginas
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.
