To understand Lincoln, we must read him. This class provides an opportunity to immerse oneself in Lincoln's writings and to explore his ideas in seminar fashion, as we might in an advanced undergraduate course. Professor Lou Masur will provide biographical information and context. Much of the time in this class will be devoted to discussion and analysis. Members of the seminar will receive a packet of writings and will be asked to read the material before class. These readings include some of Lincoln's most important speeches and writings, as well as some less known but important works.
