AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Keneally has frequently put himself in the way of historical crises, and has risked and most often found his individual voice within epochal stories. Such patterns of risk-taking inform much of his work, including his engagement with American materials. Here I will focus on two of his several envisionings of the Civil War, the novel Confederates (1979) and the biography Abraham Lincoln (2003), and conclude with a differently focused work, the memoir Searching for Schindler (2007), which is an American autobiography in tone and strategy as much as in setting and character.'
