  • Emerson, Jason
    From the Prairie State Gazette:  The Online newsletter of the Illinois State Historical Society
    The Summer 2010 issue of the Journal the Illinois State Historical Society features a 55-page annotated bibliography of scholarship about Mary Todd Lincoln, compiled by Jason Emerson, author of the 2007 award-winning "The Madness of Mary Lincoln."  Emerson, who lives in New York state, decided to write the bibliography after realizing that "no extensive bibliography of Mary Lincoln had ever been created, and certainly none annotated.  I, therefore, endeavored to undertake the task myself, which turned out to be far more complicated, laborious, exciting and satisfying than I ever imagined."

    Journal editor Eileen McMahon said that Emerson's bibliography is "an excellent compilation of the scholarship on this very controversial and misunderstood woman."  "This is not an exhaustive bibliography, despite the temptations to make it so, although I did often err on the side of inclusion when unsure whether an item belonged in the bibliography or not," Emerson writes in his introduction.  "The education I received from this work was invaluable," he continues.  "What impressed and surprised me the most, however, was the number of materials I found from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries which have been forgotten through the years and disappointingly overlooked in recent scholarship on Mary's life."

    Jason's most recent book is entitled Lincoln the Inventor.  He can be found at:  http://www.jasonemerson.com/.
