The author focuses on Jefferson and life of the heart, describing for the first time the largely unknown man of feeling and passion. The author examines his ambivalences concerning revolution, religion, power, race, and love - ambivalences which exerted a subtle but powerful influence on Jefferson's political writing and his decision-making. The result is a complex and fascinating portrait which adds a wholly new depth to the portraits of the past. Educational, historical.
