Not since Merrill Peterson's Thomas Jefferson and the New Nation
has a scholar attempted to write a comprehensive biography of the
most complex Founding Father. In Jefferson, John B. Boles plumbs
every facet of Thomas Jefferson's life, all while situating him
amid the sweeping upheaval of his times. We meet Jefferson the
politician and political thinker-as well as Jefferson the
architect, scientist, bibliophile, paleontologist, musician, and
gourmet. We witness him drafting of the Declaration of
Independence, negotiating the Louisiana Purchase, and inventing a
politics that emphasized the states over the federal government - a
political philosophy that shapes our national life to this day.
Boles offers new insight into Jefferson's actions and thinking on
race. His Jefferson is not a hypocrite, but a tragic figure - a man
who could not hold simultaneously to his views on abolition,
democracy, and patriarchal responsibility. Yet despite his flaws,
Jefferson's ideas would outlive him and make him into nothing less
than the architect of American liberty.
