About This Item
Harper Perennial, 2002. First Paperback Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7? - 9?" tall. Harper Perennial, First Thus, 2002. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. b/w in-text photos. Clean wrappers in black and white with illustration of Jefferson on front; lower edge lightly rubbed. Solid, square binding. Pages lightly toned, completely clean and unmarked. Halliday takes the reader deep into Jefferson's private life--his childhood, his literary taste, and his unconventional religious thinking and moral philosophy. He shows how understandable are the puzzles of his character in light of the times, and his personal and social circumstances. His 'puzzles'--a champion of freedom yet a lifelong slaveholder; foe of miscegenation yet secret lover to a beautiful slave for thirty years; aristocrat yet fervent advocate of government by the people. 8vo. 284 pages. 2002, Harper Perennial.
