Michael Anderegg is professor emeritus of English at the University of North Dakota. His books include Orson Welles, Shakespeare, and Popular Culture and Cinematic Shakespeare.
While Lincoln’s love of Shakespeare is well documented, Michael
Anderegg has produced the first fullscale study of that important
subject. In addition to skillfully examining the ways that the
dramas that Lincoln read or saw were published and performed,
Professor Anderegg plausibly analyzes his responses to them. This
is a most welcome addition to the Lincoln literature." - Michael
Burlingame, author of Abraham Lincoln: A Life
"Marvelously indepth research. Anderegg has effectively turned
mined archives into an engaging account-smoothly written with a
refreshing lack of jargon. There is much to learn here. - Robert
Bray, author of Reading with Lincoln
"This deeply researched and engaging book thoroughly explores
Lincoln’s lifelong ‘Shakespearean journey’ and helps us see even
more complexity and nuance in our most admired president." - Martin
P. Johnson, author of Writing the Gettysburg Address
