In this classic work by one of America's most distinguished
historians, Daniel Boorstin enters into Thomas Jefferson's world of
ideas. By analysing writings of 'the Jeffersonian Circle, '
Boorstin explores concepts of God, nature, equality, toleration,
education and government in order to illuminate their underlying
world view. "The Lost World of Thomas Jefferson" demonstrates why
on the 250th anniversary of his birth, this American leader's
message has remained relevant to our national crises and grand
concerns.
"The volume is too subtle, too rich in ideas for anyone to do
justice to it in brief summary, too heavily documented and too
carefully wrought for anyone to dismiss its thesis. . . . It is a
major contribution not only to Jefferson studies but to American
intellectual history. . . . All who work in the history of ideas
will find themselves in Mr. Boorstin's debt."--Richard Hofstadter,
"South Atlantic Monthly"
