The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher : ウィキペディア英語版
The Most Famous Man in America

''The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher'' is a 2006 biography of the 19th-century American minister Henry Ward Beecher, written by Debby Applegate and published by Doubleday. The book describes Beecher's childhood, ministry, support for the abolition of slavery and other social causes, and widely publicized 1875 trial for adultery.
Before publishing the book, Applegate researched and wrote about Beecher for twenty years, starting when she was an undergraduate student at Beecher's alma mater, Amherst College.〔 The book was generally well received by critics. In 2007, it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography.
==Background==
As an undergraduate student worker at Amherst College, Applegate was assigned to assemble an exhibit on a famous alumnus and selected Beecher. She later wrote about him for her undergraduate senior thesis and made him the subject of her PhD dissertation at Yale University. After graduation, Applegate signed a publishing contract for a biography of Beecher.〔 To write a biography with popular appeal, Applegate studied fiction writing, including techniques for suspense and pornographic writing. She structured the resulting book as a psychological thriller.〔
Though she had originally hoped to publish the book during the 1998 Lewinsky scandal, in which US President Bill Clinton was discovered to have had a sexual relationship with a White House intern, the research took several years longer than she had initially planned.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Q & A with Debby Applegate )〕 The book was finally released in 2006 by Doubleday and Three Leaves Press in hardback, paperback, and e-book editions.
