Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Step back in time to 1839 Springfield, Illinois, and witness a pivotal moment in the life of a young Abraham Lincoln. This book paints a vivid picture of a theatre troupe, the Jeffersons, facing ruin as they strive to establish the town's first theatre. A powerful faction opposes their… endeavour, deeming theatre immoral and enacting a crippling licensing fee to thwart their efforts. Into this conflict steps Lincoln, a fledgling lawyer driven by a profound sense of justice. He champions the cause of the Jeffersons, not for personal gain but for the principles of artistic freedom and the cultural enrichment theatre brings. His eloquent arguments draw upon the historical significance of theatre, tracing its roots back to ancient Greece and its role in religious instruction during the Middle Ages. This book delves into themes of censorship, community values, and the power of the arts. It showcases Lincoln's unwavering commitment to fairness and his belief in the transformative power of theatre, leaving readers with a deeper appreciation for the enduring legacy of this iconic figure and the indelible mark he left on American history.
