Enlightened Republicanism is the first book-length study of Thomas
Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia, which has often been
used as a treasury of quotations from which historians, political
scientists, and literary scholars have borrowed in order to prove
one point or another about America or Jefferson himself. David
Tucker examines Jefferson's work as a whole, arguing that the it
was carefully structured. He proceeds to demonstrate that only a
deeper understanding of this structure as an integral part of
Jefferson's argument can give the reader a true comprehension of
Notes on the State of Virginia. Enlightened republicanism, as
Jefferson defined it, was revolutionary, as it fundamentally
changed the goals of government and the practice of politics to
bring them into accord as much as possible with the complex and
varied demands of nature.
