Abraham Lincoln
Godfrey Rathbone Benson (1864-1945) - author, politician and philanthropist - was the 1st Baron Charnwood, and under the name Lord Charnwood in 1916 he wrote this biography of Abraham Lincoln. It has been considered to be one of the best biographies of Lincoln written in the first generations after his death."[Lincoln] was misunderstood and underrated in his lifetime, and even yet has hardly come to his own. For his place is among the great men of the earth. To them he belongs by right of his immense power of hard work, his unfaltering pursuit of what seemed to him right, and above all by that childlike directness and simplicity of vision which none but the greatest carry beyond their earliest years. It is fit that the first considered attempt by an Englishman to give a picture of Lincoln, the great hero of America's struggle for the noblest cause, should come at a time when we in England are passing through as fiery a trial for a cause we feel to be as noble. It is a time when we may learn much from Lincoln's failures and success, from his patience, his modesty, his serene optimism and his eloquence, so simple and so magnificent."

A Comprehensive Summary and Analysis of Abraham Lincoln by Lord Charnwood
“Abraham Lincoln” by Lord Charnwood is not just a biography; it’s a deep dive into the life of a man who shaped the destiny of the United States, set against the tumultuous backdrop of a nation grappling with its identity. Charnwood's work seeks to explain to a non-American audience the significance of Abraham Lincoln, the “puzzled civil magistrate,” who became a revered figure. Unlike warriors or artists, whose greatness is measured by concrete achievements, statesmen like Lincoln are judged by their ability to subtly shift the direction and spirit of a people. This book explores the multi-faceted aspects of Lincoln's life, his character, and the historical context that propelled him into the annals of history.

Abraham Lincoln
One of the most important works on Abraham Lincoln from the era when he was passing out of living memory and into history, this 1917 classic is a rich, evocative portrait of the man and how actions as a leader were shaped by his character and ideals. From its British perspective, offering a fresh angle on an American legend, to its charming readability, Charnwood's treatise-which was called, in 1947, "the best one-volume life of Lincoln ever written" by historian Benjamin Thomas-today remains one of the most intriguing examinations of the great president, and a keystone for understanding the evolution of Lincoln scholarship.
