This definitive dual portrait offers a fresh perspective on Abraham Lincoln and William Cullen Bryant’s crucial role in elevating him to the presidency. The book also sheds new light on the influence that “Bryant and his class” (as Lincoln called the Radical Republican faction whose views Bryant articulated) wielded on the chief executive. How the cautious president and the preeminent editor of the Fourth Estate interacted―and how their ideological battle tilted gradually in Bryant’s favor―is the centerpiece of this study. A work of meticulous scholarship and a model of compression, Lincoln and Bryant is a watershed account of two Republicans fighting common enemies (and each other) during the Civil War era.

Questo terzo volume di "Tutte le opere" di William Shakespeare raccoglie i drammi che mettono in scena la storia dell'Inghilterra medievale. Si tratta di rappresentazioni che incontrarono - insieme ad alcune commedie - un immediato successo: il pubblico che assiepava i teatri era avido di informazioni e leggende sui primi passi della nazione e sulle lotte dinastiche che l'avevano funestata in passato. E così il grande drammaturgo rielabora per la prima volta in forma moderna eventi raccontati in ponderosi tomi di disordinate "Cronache" o già messi acerbamente in scena da contemporanei: un "coacervo informe e grezzo" elaborato e trasformato in opere teatrali che si sono imposte all'attenzione degli spettatori londinesi e poi dell'intera cultura occidentale.
