It is full of fascinating insights about Jefferson.\" —Gordon S. Wood, \u003cem\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHailed by critics and embraced by readers, \u003cem\u003e\"Most Blessed of the Patriarchs\"\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the richest and most insightful accounts of Thomas Jefferson in a generation. Following her Pulitzer Prize–winning \u003cem\u003eThe Hemingses of Monticello\u003c\/em\u003e¸ Annette Gordon-Reed has teamed with Peter S. Onuf to present a provocative and absorbing character study, \"a fresh and layered analysis\" (\u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e) that reveals our third president as \"a dynamic, complex and oftentimes contradictory human being\" (\u003cem\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e). Gordon-Reed and Onuf fundamentally challenge much of what we thought we knew, and through their painstaking research and vivid prose create a portrait of Jefferson, as he might have painted himself, one \"comprised of equal parts sun and shadow\" (Jane Kamensky).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134804771056,"sku":"9781631490781","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781631490781_p0.jpg?v=1763672125","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781631490781","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
