| Description: |
A study of the third president of the United States, this text examines 70 years of letters and private accounts, providing an insight into the contradictions that surround Jefferson. The author recreates the world of the 18th century to demonstrate his subject's position within it. |
| Synopsis: |
Thomas Jefferson's personal life has always been a puzzle to biographers. Even his contemporaries found him difficult to know. In Jefferson's correspondence, however, Andrew Burstein has found a key to the inner man. This penetrating and thoughtful portait confronts widespread misunderstandings about Jefferson's romantic life and provides insight into the contradictions that still surround our third president. |
