RE: Abraham Lincoln Second Inaugural Address
Amy,

Lincoln's Sword has only one reference in the index to Shakespeare, and it covers Lincoln's favorite quote. In the whole mess of putting up my bookcase, I have evidently misplaced some of my Lincoln books, including White's book (not to mention Sandburg's Prairie Years). Looking online, there are references in White's book to Shakespeare, but the preview omitted those pages. If I can find the book I'll let you know.

I forgot that there was a book published in 2015 by Michael Anderegg called Lincoln and Shakespeare. I haven't read it, and I just browsed through the index, so I can't tell you what he covers, but you might consider adding that as well.

Here is a podcast featuring Anderegg that the Folger Library did in 2020.

I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent.
