Despite Carl Sandburg's early popular success, critics have
mostly disregarded his works. But given the rising popularity of regional
writing, this author merits more investigation. Sandburg's early life in
Central Illinois had a significant impact on his life and works, as shown by
his works when examined in a biographical context. It was there that he
developed his political ideas and discovered his most fruitful subject matter.
Carl Sandburg studies can serve as the basis for an Illinois poetry school that
addresses local legends like Abraham Lincoln, uses Midwestern language, and
takes the state and its common people as its subject matter. This paper
investigates Sandburg’s political beliefs, his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln and
the use of Midwestern themes in his writings. It also explores his background
as the son of a laborer.
