Notes: Offers a narrative and critical overview of work on Virginia architectural history done since the early 1970s, a period which has seen radically new approaches and conclusions. 451-57 cover TJ. Criticizes the "exceptionalist" tendency of much scholarship on TJ's architecture, which views it out of context and views TJ as an isolated, abstracted figure. Calls for studies of Monticello as a typical large Virginia plantation of the early national period, putting the architecture in its social, economic, and political context. Suggests TJ was less a mentor of the first generation of professional architects in America than he was their patron and fan. Informative essay.
