James Russell Lowell was a poet, a professor of literature at Harvard, and eventually an ambassador. Lowell wrote the book as an essay about Abraham Lincoln sometime between Lincolns death in 1865 and his own in 1891. Lowell's thesis is simply that Lincoln was the perfect man for his time. Another man might have erred on the side of demagoguery, sacrificing the Union on the altar of his personal vendettas (a lesson that could well have been used in the 2013 political crisis that led to a government shutdown). Another man might have allowed the South to leave, forever fracturing the Union and proving that the nation "of the people, by the people, and for the people" could not "long endure." Lincoln, in Lowell's opinion, was the perfect man for his time.
