About the author
Lilian Handlin is an author whose work focuses on historical figures and political history. Publicly available information about her is limited, and details such as her nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. One of her works is held in this collection, Abraham Lincoln and the Union, a book centred on Abraham Lincoln and the fate of the Union during the American Civil War, falling within the overlapping fields of biography and world history. Judging from its common classification, her writing appeals to readers interested in nineteenth-century American politics, Lincoln himself, and the question of preserving the Union. Because verifiable material is scarce, this note can only indicate, on the basis of the work itself, her focus: examining the tension between individual judgement and national unity, with Lincoln at the centre.
