520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
Summary, etc | This is a challenging new biography, a rich, three - dimensional intimate portrait which illuminates the relationship between Jefferson's inner life and his public life. Where others have concentrated on Jefferson and the life of the mind, Mrs. Brodie has concentrated on Jefferson and the life of the heart, descibing for the first time the largely unknown man of feeling and passion. We see in this volume Jefferson's passion for order and his detestation of violence, developing during his presidency into what Henry Adams called his " genius for peace. " We see also the aging statesman, who descibes himself as living " like a patriarch of old, " trapped in the slave holding world, slipping into ever - growing apathy toward emancipation. |
Expansion of summary note | Explores the relationship between Jefferson's inner life and his public life including his attitudes toward the church, slavery, women, and revolution. |
