| Douglas L. Wilson, George A. Lawrence Professor of English at Knox College, received his B.A. at Doane College and Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. He was the director of the Seymour Library at Knox College from 1972 to 1991. Until recently, most of Wilson's historical writings have focused on Thomas Jefferson, especially Jefferson's library. His interest in Lincoln has led to several articles that have appeared in The Atlantic, Indiana Magazine of History, and Civil War History. Wilson's work on transcribing William Henry Herndon's interviews with Lincoln's associates led him to reexamine several controversial events in the Illinois lawyer's early life. With Rodney O. Davis, also of Knox College, Wilson plans to publish the first scholarly edition of the Herndon letters and interviews. |
