| This is one of the best books on Thomas Jefferson ever written: sophisticated and clear, persuasive and insightful. Beginning from the modest theme of examining Jefferson's first inaugural address as president in 1801, Professor Stephen Howard Browne reveals the depth of Jefferson's political thought through the medium of his rhetoric. This book is highly recommended for those interested in American political history, Jeffersonian democracy, political rhetoric, and nineteenth-century political parties in the United States. |
