Publisher Synopsis
"McDonald's collection permanently corrects the view that Jefferson was the academy's 'accidental founder.' The contributors illuminate the complexity of Jefferson's motives as well as the larger context in which his decision was made. Taken together, the essays offer a compelling story of one of Jefferson's most unlikely, but most enduring, accomplishments." - Rosemarie Zagarri, George Mason University" Read more...
