520 |a "What exactly makes someone a "statesman"? Is a statesman, as it is commonly said, just a dead politician? There is something inherently ambiguous and complex in the notion of statesmanship, and the contributors to this volume attempt to elucidate this ambiguity by considering the statesmanship of Abraham Lincoln. Of all American historical political leaders, Lincoln is probably the most likely candidate for the title of statesman, yet there is also a consistent undercurrent of doubt about Lincoln, amounting in some cases to serious reservations about the quality of his political leadership, and much of this doubt stems from uncertainty or doubt about the concept of statesmanship altogether. The contributors to Lincoln and Democratic Statesmanship argue that the concept is meaningful and that Lincoln represents a democratic form of statesmanship, in the sense that he pursued and achieved a great public good in democratic governance"--  |c Provided by publisher.
