Since Lincoln, no other president has written his own words and addressed his audience with equal and enduring effectiveness. Lincoln is distinguished from every other president, with the exception of Jefferson, in that we can be certain that he wrote every word that his name is attached. Lincoln explores Lincoln's life through his use of language as a vehicle for complex ideas and feelings and as an instrument of persuasion and empowerment. Like the other great canonical writers of American literature-a status he is gradually attaining-Lincoln had a literary career that is inseparable from his life story.
