Thomas Jefferson: A Comprehensive Annotated Bibliography
Works from the 1960's
Reference: A10
Author: Commager, Henry Steele
Title: "Jefferson Was Only 33 When ... ."
Publication: New York Times Magazine.
Volume: 18
Date: (October 23, 1960)
Extent: 117.
Notes:
For the first time there was a certainty in 1960 of electing a President under 50 years of age, but many of the founders did significant service in their thirties -- TJ wrote the Declaration when he was 33.
But in the eighteenth century men in their thirties were, for several reasons, already middle aged, and we should thus remember there is no easy formula to guarantee maturity.

Title: "Boyd's Jefferson: Notes for a Sketch."
Publication: New England Quarterly
Volume: 33
Date: (1960)
Extent: 380-401
Notes:
Review essay on the first 15 volumes of The Papers which "contain more than enough material for a re-estimation," particularly in the volumes covering his time abroad.
Two controlling groups of traits emerge: a "conventionality of mind and behavior" in the face of European culture and society, but "in his direct, tactical involvement with public affairs, he was as unconventional, as imaginative, resourceful, and tough as the best, or worst, of Old World politicians."

Notes:
The best study of TJ's reputation and influence, although since its focus is on the reputation, it tends to slight any genuine Jefferson influences in favor of studying the semi-magical invocations of TJ's name.
An essential book.

Somewhat paradoxically praises TJ and Monticello for being "astonishingly modern" and defends him for using a classical idiom because "there was no need for novelty in architectural expression."
Suggests one aspect of modern design in Monticello is the displacement of stairways and service routes from the center of the house.
Sees TJ and Wright as sharing "a vision of the extended potentials of culture, a determination to employ it for the enrichment of the lives of their countrymen."

Notes:
Discusses the apparent paradox between TJ's belief in the progress of science and the arts as strengthening liberty and his belief that the increase of cities and their artisans led to vice.
Suggests that the so-called "Jacksonian Persuasion" was actually the "Jeffersonian Persuasion," but the tradition associating virtuous republics with agrarian life is as old as Plato's Republic.
TJ, however, sought to dissolve if not transcend the tension between liberty and virtue by basing the modern state on the doctrine of equal natural rights for all.

He can be considered a protosociologist because of his insights into the elements of social control and socio-psychological determinants of human behavior.
He was both a theorist and activist, a "practical idealist."

Sees "two trends which defy synthesis in" TJ's thought on freedom of conscience: an empirical, modern trend which claims thought is the activity of a material organ and that man has an instinctive moral sense, and a classical trend which shows man governed by a natural law ordered by the Creator.
Thus, TJ "did not discuss the difficulties of forming conscience, the possibilities of an erroneous conscience, or the problems of conflict between two persons differing conscientiously."

Contrasts TJ and Rutledge as different versions of Southern gentry responding to the imperial crisis and the threat of civil war.
TJ was concerned for American liberty, but Rutledge was more concerned to protect his own power and position.
This meant that he resisted calls for independence, and in joining in with other colonies on issues such as nonexportation, he insisted on special terms for South Carolina.
Sees TJ as a critic of some aspects of Virginia society, and sees Rutledge as supporter of the status quo in South Carolina with little desire to change or reform.
Has little to say about motivation.

Claims TJ was most strongly influenced by the agrarian strain of Whiggism inherited from Bolingbroke rather than the artisan radicalism of Paine; in spite of many agreements, in the long run the two streams diverged.
By the mid-19th century in Europe agrarianism was dead, but TJ's agrarianism lived on in an America of available unused land.
Beard was a latter-day Jeffersonian who tried to impose the static dichotomy of agrarian whiggism on American history.
