  • Attribution

    Robert Gildea

  • Publication Details

    Book, Harvard University Press, 2008

  • Description

    His is a strikingly unfamiliar France, a country with an often overwhelming gap between Paris and the provinces, a country torn apart by fratricidal hatreds and a tortured history of feminism, the site of political catastrophes and artistic triumphs, and a country that managed?despite a pervasive awareness of its own fall from grace?to fix itself squarely at the heart of modernity.

    Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink and Rolf Reichardt ; translated by Norbert Schürer

    This is an important work that makes an essential contribution to the overall picture of Jefferson.”?Booklist “O’Brien traces the roots of Jefferson’s admiration for the revolution in France but notes that Jefferson’s enthusiasm for France cooled in the 1790s, when French egalitarian ideals came to threaten the slave-based Southern economy that Jefferson supported.”?Library Journal “In O’Brien’s opinion, it’s time that Americans face the fact that Jefferson, long seen as a champion of the ‘wronged masses,’ was a racist who should not be placed on a pedestal in an increasingly multicultural United States.”?Boston Phoenix “O’Brien makes a well-argued revisionist contribution to the literature on Jefferson.”?Kirkus Reviews “O’Brien is right on target .
