Lecture: The Serious Business of Abraham Lincoln's Sense of Humor
Richard Carwardine, President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and author of "Lincoln: A Life of Purpose and Power," discusses Lincoln's global legacy and sense of humor.

Abraham Lincoln called laughter 'the joyous, beautiful, universal evergreen of life.' A staple of his diet, it was a feature universally noted by his contemporaries, friend and foe alike. But what did it signify? This talk looks seriously at what made Lincoln laugh, exploring what it reveals about his temperament, personality, and moral values, and suggests how he made mirth and story-telling key weapons in his relations with others.
