Work in Progress
Dr. Johnson’s current research focuses on the Gettysburg Address. The research allows him to address in new ways his interest in the history of nationalism, political ideologies, and the cultural construction of meaning. In addition, his work on Lincoln also reflects his interest in the scholarship of textual criticism and editorial practice, as expressed in his understanding of the creation of “the Gettysburg Address” as a collective process of cultural performance rather than a discrete act of individual authorship.
