Book
Reading the Early Republic
Reading the Early Republic focuses attention on the
forgotten dynamism of thought in the founding era. In every case,
the documents, novels, pamphlets, sermons, journals, and slave
narratives of the early American nation are richer and more
intricate than modern readers have perceived. Rebellion, slavery,
and treason--the mingled stories of the Revolution--still haunt
national thought. Robert Ferguson shows that the legacy that made
the country remains the idea of what it is still trying to become.
He cuts through the pervading nostalgia about national beginnings
to recapture the manic-depressive tones of its first expression. He
also has much to say about the reconfiguration of charity in
American life, the vital role of the classical ideal in projecting
an unthinkable continental republic, the first manipulations of the
independent American woman, and the troubled integration of civic
and commercial understandings in the original claims of prosperity
as national virtue. Reading the Early Republic uses the
living textual tradition against history to prove its case. The
first formative writings are more than sacred artifacts. They
remain the touchstones of the durable promise and the problems in
republican thought

Thomas Jefferson: diplomatic correspondence, Paris, 1784-1789
Philosopher, diplomat, politician, inventor, writer, architect, even gardener, from a historical perspective Thomas Jefferson emerges as an extraordinary individual. This is the first time an editor has focused principally on his comments regarding his time while serving as minister to France from 1784 to 1789. He was clearly many things to many people, but precisely because of these multifaceted endeavors, he has become so deeply entwined in the tapestry of America's grand democratic experiment that the quest to picture him clearly and objectively in his own life and times remains arguably elusive.The most comprehensive portrait of the American founding fathers can be seen in their personal letters and journal entries. Jefferson is certainly no exception, and those he wrote during his service as American minister to France - through many of the most critical episodes in both French and American history - are of singular importance. The format of the letters has been preserved whenever possible and, collectively, they provide a unique glimpse into the character and thought processes of Jefferson the diplomat.
