Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The New Yorker hailed E.M.Halliday's biography of Thomas Jefferson: "In crisp, energetic, and occasionally ribald language, Halliday banishes Jefferson the sphinx and gives us, instead, Jefferson the man." His absorbing and lucid portrait recognizes seeming paradoxes in Jefferson's philosophies and habits, but makes them understandable in light of his personal and social circumstances. Halliday takes readers deep into Jefferson's private life—exploring his childhood, his literary taste, his unconventional religious thinking and moral philosophy, his adamant opinions on women, the evolution of his ideas on democracy and freedom of expression, and fresh insights into his relationship with Sally.
