| Summary: | While every biographer has something to say concerning Thomas Jefferson's cavernous mind - his varied interests and the depth of his understanding of them - there has never been, strange as it might seem, a non-anthology dedicated to fleshing out key features of his mind, exploring Jefferson's varied interests through his varied personae. This book does just that, studying Jefferson as lawyer, moralist, politician, scientist, epistolist, aesthetician, farmer, educationalist, and philologist. |
