Sinopse
Características

Since its publication in 1960, The Jefferson Image in the American Mind has become a classic of historical scholarship. In it Merrill D. Peterson charts Thomas Jeffersons influence upon American thought and imagination since his death in 1826. Petersons focus is not primarily with the truth or falsity of the image either as a whole or in its parts, but rather with its illuminations of the evolving culture and its shaping power. It is posteritys configuration of Jefferson. Even more, however, it is a sensitive reflector, through several generations, of Americas troubled search of the image of itself.
