Critics Review
“The Library of America in its reissue of American literary classics…has been the most satisfying (and, I suspect, the most lasting) publishing event of my lifetime. The two volumes of Lincoln’s complete writings, superbly edited by Don E. Fehrenbacher, … are the capstone of this splendid continuing series.” —Alfred Kazin, The New York Times Book Review
