Part of the continuing interest in him comes of curiosity about a statesman as withdrawn and elusive in personality as he was clear and eloquent in words. Recent DNA evidence that he probably fathered one or more children by one of his slaves deepens the mystery about him. The greater question has to do with his pronouncements about the nature and foundations of liberty, so direct and simple in expression.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this anthology of Jefferson's writings, Peter Onuf begins with an Introduction entitled, \"Making Sense of Jefferson,\" which is then followd by 86 selections from a variety of documents: letters, official papers, public addresses, and opinions, including an extensive selection from \u003ci\u003eNotes on the State of Virginia\u003c\/i\u003e, making this an ideal reader for a variety of venues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Making Sense of Jefferson.  \u003cp\u003eChapter One: Revolutionary Statesman.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Notes on the State of Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Three: New World and Old World.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Jeffersonian Republicanism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Five: The Revolution of 1800.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Retirement Years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20%5BHB%5D%22\"\u003eHB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52449431224600,"sku":"9781881089575","price":25.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781881089575.jpg?v=1785199109","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/thomas-jefferson-an-anthology-paperback-softback-9781881089575","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
