No romance histórico Lincoln, publicado em 1984, Gore Vidal refina a sua política de representação de reconstrução da memória da nação, através da revisão da historiografia de Abraham Lincoln. Neste ensaio, examino como Vidal revisita o mito criado pelo discurso histórico e analiso as implicações ideológicas deste processo de reescrita no que diz respeito às metamorfoses da política norte-americana.
