Description

“Robert Wilsonâ€s Barnum, the first full-dress biography in 20 years, eschews clichés for

a more nuanced story…Mr. Wilsonâ€s book shows how one complicated, contradictory,

morally ambiguous man struggled to improve himself while being single-mindedly determined to

give delight to millions. It is a life for our times, and the biography Barnum deserves.― —Wall

Street Journal“Exhaustive in scope and upbeat in tone…the bookâ€s message is clear:

Barnum was a self-made man in the American grain.― —New York Times Book Review

“Better than anyone whoâ€d come before, the Prince of Humbugs understood that the public

was willing—even eager—to be conned, provided there was enough entertainment to be had in

the process. That theory of Barnumâ€s genius makes Wilsonâ€s book peculiarly relevant.―

—The New Yorker “A real show stopper of a biography…Barnum is an excellent

biography of a difficult subject — Wilson makes a convincing case that the legendary

showmanâ€s many faults should be considered in tandem with his accomplishments, which

changed the course of American entertainment forever. [Barnum] was also a fascinating public

figure, and Wilsonâ€s book is the thoughtful biography that heâ€s long deserved.― —

Newsday“Wilson brings Barnum alive on the page…[A] brisk, laudatory biography.― —

Minneapolis Star-Tribune“Barnum: An American Life, an engaging, insightful, and richly

researched new biography by American Scholar editor Robert Wilson, chronicles Barnumâ€s

rarely-a-dull-moment life with an ebullience and vigor that matches its subject.― —New York

Journal of Books“Barnum was a complex public figure, a character begging for deep

examination, and Wilson presents a true timeline of Barnum as a thinker, a believer, a

businessman, and a family man. We see his opinions change, we see him learn from his mistakes,

and we see him experience victory and defeat over and over…With Wilson at the wheel, a road

trip through well-trod history becomes a truly remarkable ride.― —Seattle Book Review

“[An] impressive biography of the infamous nineteenth-century showman…[Barnum] is here,

in the pages of this thoughtful, deeply researched and revealing book. Barnum: An American Life

often reads less like history and more like a cautionary tale for our times.― —Chicago Review

of Books“An admirable, well-written, eminently readable biography of the great showman.

Robert Wilsonâ€s research is prodigious, his writing deliciously sly. This is an estimable work.―

—A.H. Saxon, author of P. T. Barnum: The Legend and the Man“In this impressive

biography, Robert Wilson gives readers the real Phineas Taylor Barnum, sweetening this already

entertaining book with brilliantly presented facts that far surpass anything previously imagined
