Description

“Crucial book…[R]ichly rewarding. It is filled with fascinating insights about Jefferson.” ―Gordon S. Wood, New York Review of Books

Hailed by critics and embraced by readers, “So much Blessed of the Patriarchs” is likely one of the richest and So much insightful accounts of Thomas Jefferson in a generation. Following her Pulitzer Prize–winning The Hemingses of Monticello¸ Annette Gordon-Reed has teamed with Peter S. Onuf to provide a provocative and soaking up character take a look at, “a fresh and layered analysis” (New York Times Book Review) that reveals our third president as “a dynamic, complex and oftentimes contradictory human being” (Chicago Tribune). Gordon-Reed and Onuf fundamentally challenge much of what we thought we knew, and thru their painstaking research and vivid prose create a portrait of Jefferson, as he would possibly have painted himself, one “constituted of equal parts sun and shadow” (Jane Kamensky).
