"Rugged Grandeur": A Study of the Influences on the Writing Style of Abraham Lincoln and a Brief Study of His Writing Habits

Marshall Myers

Abstract

While most students of style justifiably cite Abraham Lincoln's reading as the major influence on his speaking and writing, five other important influences have been largely ignored. Little attention has also been paid to a study of his composing habits that will help scholars understand just how Lincoln went about the process of putting prose on paper.
