Did you know that Teddy Roosevelt read widely and worked tirelessly on his writing? Learn about Roosevelt's lifelong engagement with books, and explore his writings from childhood journals to his final editorial, finished just hours before his death. Roosevelt's reading choices and writings -- from speeches, essays and reviews to letters, histories, and an autobiography -- reveal him at his most vulnerable and most human. This presentation, from Thomas Bailey and Katherine Joslin, is based on their recent book, "Theodore Roosevelt: A Literary Life."

About Thomas & Katherine: Thomas Bailey is professor emeritus of English and environmental studies at Western Michigan University. Katherine Joslin is the author of "Jane Addams, A Writer's Life and Edith Wharton and the Making of Fashion," winner of a Choice Outstanding Academic Title award.
