    <![CDATA[A former professor of Greek at Yale University, Wills painstakingly deconstructs Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and discovers heavy influence from the early Greeks (Pericles) and the 19th century Transcendentalists (Edward Everett). The author also probes Lincoln's decision to rely more on the Declaration of Independence than the U.S. Constitution, a decision Wills says represented a &quot;revolution in thought.&quot; He speaks effusively of the 272-word address: &quot;All modern political prose descends from [it]. The Address does what all great art accomplishes. [I]t tease[s] us out of thought.&quot; Wills' book won the 1992 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism.  ]]>
