The Long Affair : Thomas Jefferson and the French Revolution, 1785-1800by O'Brien, Conor C
DescriptionChicago, IL, U.S.A.: University of Chicago Press, 1996. Book contains 367 pages. The author argues that Jefferson, though enthralled with the ideological mystique of the French Revolution,nevertheless retained a shrewd political pragmatism,skilfully exploiting the Revolution's popularity with the American public .Ultimately, Jefferson's egalitarian ideals came into conflict with his staunch political support for the slave-based Southern economy.Following the slave insurrection in Haiti inspired by the French Revolution,his revolutionary zeal was tempered and began to cool. Concluding with an evaluation of Jefferson's current role in the system of American political beliefs,questions whether we can sustain Jefferson's lofty status in an increasingly multiracial America, and suggests a disturbing link between Jefferson's vision and white supremacist, survivalist extremes.. Hard Cover. Very Good++/Very Good++. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Similar books from this booksellerFrom this bookseller's American Revolution catalog.
