Thomas Jefferson: A Comprehensive Annotated Bibliography

Author: Jackson, J. B.
Title: "Jefferson, Thoreau & After"
Publication: Landscapes: Selected Writings of J. B. Jackson,
ed. Ervin H. Zube
Publisher: University of Massachusetts Press,
Place of Publication: Amherst:
Date: (1970)
Extent: 1-9.
Notes:
Describes TJ and Thoreau as proponents of Agrarian and Romantic views of the environment; TJ envisioned a rural society of egalitarian virtuous citizens, whereas Thoreau looked for rural solitude in which individuals could come to terms with their personal relationship to the environment.
If the country was actually settled according to the Jeffersonian scheme of an extensive grid, itself the symbol "of an agrarian Utopia composed of a democratic society of small landowners," Thoreau's romantic vision ironically remained an urban and suburban phenomenon which tended to see the wider landscape only in terms of conservation or recreation.
The Romantic landscape was equally a Utopian ideal, and if the Agrarian and Romantic Utopias died, it was "because there were no longer Utopian men to inhabit them."
Suggestive.

Title: "Jefferson's Politics of Morality: The Purpose and Meaning of His Extracts from the Evangelists, "The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth" and "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth."
Publication: Ph.D. dissertation

Extent: pp. 690
Notes:
TJ's religious views before 1798 were those of a mild Deist, but after that he attempted to support the moral sense of a republican nation with the "pure doctrines" of Jesus.
The concept of the moral sense is central to his thinking on religion, morality, and even politics.
Contains a reconstruction of TJ's lost "Philosophy of Jesus" and a definitive text of "The Life and Morals."
The second compilation, unlike the first, shows Jesus as something more than a mere man.

Notes:
This election was nearly a Jeffersonian sweep and despite some party infighting does not raise the historiographic problems that the election of 1800 does.

Title: "Early Liberalism: Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson"
Publication: Community and Purpose in America: An Analysis of American Political Theory
Publisher: McGraw Hill,
Place of Publication: New York:
Date: (1971)
Extent: 60-104.
Notes:
Argues that TJ and Paine "had a common way of looking at the world" in individualistic terms; this is the source of their radicalism which transformed the old vocabulary of political theory.
Sees TJ as caught up in ambivalence about reason and in contradictions between theory and reality because he was unwilling to think consistently on the speculative level of political theory.
Because he was more interested in freedom in a negative sense, i.
e.
freedom from
tyranny, etc., than in a positive sense, or freedom to
practice rights, his thought "would leave the national purpose essentially unchallenged." Suggestive essay at times.

Volume: 79
Date: (1971)

Notes:
Discusses the building of Downing College and the East India Company's Haileybury College in the context of "Oxbridge" architectural history.
Downing and Haileybury Colleges were built in the decades just before the construction of the University of Virginia, but there is not much evidence for TJ's familiarity with them.
Mildly interesting but finally inconclusive and peripheral.

Title: "Introduction" to A Biographical Sketch of the Late Michael Cresap by John Jeremiah Jacob.
Publisher: McClain Printing Co.,
Place of Publication: Parsons, WV:
Date: (1971)
Extent: 1-48.
Notes:
Scholarly introduction to Jacob's 1826 defense of Cresap (see #2918 in TJCAB
) covers the events in Lord Dunmore's War leading up to Logan's speech, its transmission, and the controversy evoked by TJ's use of it in Notes
.
Concludes that much of TJ's evidence appeared "irrefutable, and his honest and sincere effort to get at the truth disarmed many of his critics."
Luther Martin's efforts to use this issue to discredit TJ failed, and Jacob wrote his book mostly in response to Joseph Doddridge's Notes on the Settlement and Indian Wars of the Western Parts of Virginia & Pennsylvania
(1824).

Title: "The Reform of the Racist Religion of the Republic"
Publication: The Religion of the Republic,
ed. Elwyn A. Smith.
Publisher: Fortress Press,
Place of Publication: Philadelphia:
Date: (1971)
Extent: 267-85.
Notes:
Argues that the denominations should be "sympathetic critics" of American civil religion, reaffirming its best ideals, values, and practices while exposing its perversions and distortions.
Its strengths include an emphasis on individual moral development, democratic egalitarianism, felt responsibility to share material abundance with the less fortunate, and guarantees of freedom of belief and worship; the most persistent violations of these have resulted from racial prejudice which has "perverted the religion of the Republic into an arrogant white Americanism."
Discusses TJ and Lyman Beecher as exemplars of the combination of racist ideas and national spirit, and argues that black studies can contribute "to halting the degeneration of the religion of the Republic" by "renewing of the prophetic spirit of this religion" and "the rekindling of the commitment of its supporters to lofty ideals."

Title: The Jeffersonian Crisis: Courts and Politics in the Young Republic
Publisher: Oxford Univ. Press

Extent: pp. xii, 377
Notes:
Argues that the Jeffersonian Republicans were not a monolithic party and that after the election of 1800 there was not simply one struggle over the federal judiciary system but various struggles on state and national levels.
Furthermore, the attack on the judiciary reflects the struggle between the radicals and moderates in TJ's own party, with the acquittal of Samuel Chase marking the turning point in favor of the moderates.
An excellent work, but it has more to do with Jeffersonians than with TJ per se.

TJ was in 1800 sympathetic to anti-Navy ideology in his party, but not ready to give up his previous pro-Navy views.
~rom 1801 to 1807 he generally supported the requests of the Navy for funds, despite Gallatin's urge to economize.
There was no clear administrative naval policy, and only after the Chesapeake affair did the administration come up with a policy on the use of the new gunboats.

Date: (1974)
Extent: 159-185.
Notes:
TJ discussed throughout, but particularly in chapters entitled "John Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, and the Puritan Ethic" and "Conceptions of New Nationhood: Jefferson and Hamilton."
As part of an overall attempt to chart the transformation of a British colonial mentality to an American national one contends in the former that a "Puritan Ethic" of devotion to "calling," diligence, frugality, and public-spiritedness underwrote national political arrangements with habits, attitudes, and values that could guide daily life.
Cites TJ among others to show that this was a broadly national phenomenon and that it involved a moral suspicion of European vices even in someone attracted to European culture.
Latter chapter treats TJ more fully, although more conventionally, as a person whose writings "everywhere reflected pastoral values" and opposes his concerns for a government which would enhance its citizens humanity to Hamilton's concerns for national wealth and power.

It enabled the people to identify with the emerging democratic sentiment that was a 'second city' within the body politic....
the capacity of the Jeffersonians to combine a revolutionary ideology and a dynamic political organization culminated in the first modern theory of a politics of revolution." Suggestive study.

Notes Lincoln's comments about the Declaration and suggests that his characterization of the "axioms of a free society" recognizes the quality of TJ's intellect "which had a peculiar power of levitation, a power of making energetic and convincing formulations without deep delving."
Unlike more systematic theorists, TJ created axioms capable of surviving their time and finding a new context for later generations.

Notes:
Aspires to separate the mythic TJ and the text of the Declaration by using "the methodology Willmoore Kendall called `a universal confrontation with the text.
'" Claims the critical question raised by the Declaration is "Who are `the people?'" and the answer is the majority of the population.
This means TJ's reference to the rights of man should not receive an individualistic interpretation but must be understood "within the broader concerns of the public good and the rights of the political community in general."
The author's claim to "analytical rigor" here may strike some as ahistorical logic-chopping.

Notes:
Places TJ's proposal for a grotto in a larger tradition of neo-Palladian architecture (not Palladian per se
, since TJ seems to have been influenced less by Palladio than by his interpreters).
Argues that the theories of neo-Palladian, "regular" architects such as Giacomo Leoni, Colin Campbell, and Robert Morris fundamentally shaped a Jeffersonian campaign to lead an architectural revolution in Virginia.
Sees TJ's comments on Virginia Architecture in Notes
as a manifesto of sorts in favor of a displacement of vernacular architecture by "regular" architecture based on classical precedent.

Title: "Jefferson on Political Obligation."
Publication: Journal of the West Virginia Philosophical Society
Volume: 12
Date: (Spring, 1977)
Extent: 1-6.
Notes:
Claims that TJ believed the natural right of self-preservation imposed an obligation to protect the lives of others, and therefore citizens have the duty to change a government that has abrogated the social contract.
He held that political obligation could be strengthened by developing a well-educated citizenry, encouraging democratic participation, and limiting government.
States that he can be faulted for limiting political participation to white males and for his view that national sovereignty is ultimate.
Does not clearly or convincingly demonstrate that TJ had a sense of "political obligation" which worked in terms of one person's responsibility toward another as claimed here; instead, the obligation is to defend liberty, something rather different.

Title: "The Declaration of Independence as `An Expression of the American Mind.'"
Publication: Revue Internationale de Philosophie
Volume: 31
Date: (1977)
Extent: 401-37.
Notes:
If the Declaration is viewed as "a structure of cognitive meanings," it has two main parts, a general philosophy of government and a theory of the British Empire.
Offers a survey of representative thinkers to show that its philosophy of government was generally accepted in America, even by opponents of Independence, but its theory of British Empire was shared only by the patriots.
The Declaration thus expresses the American mind at the moment of the birth of the American nation, but a mind expressing itself is a mind making itself up, i.
e.
rejecting what can not be harmonized with or subordinated to its decisive conclusion. Hence this expression of mind excluded Loyalist/Tory conservatism for the moment, but the resurfacing of these excluded strains in later years argues that the Declaration is not the only expression of the American mind forever thereafter. TJ's "harmonizing sentiments," however, express the American mind not by duplicating its contents but by proclaiming what is morally best in it, its appeal against discredited institutions and its appeal to reason as exercised in the individual mind.

Volume: 44
Date: (1977)
Date: (1983)
Extent: pp. 379.
Notes:
Challenges the notion that Virginia almost uniformly endorsed the Revolution and saw little social upheaval and claims that fundamental changes were effected by the reforms instituted by TJ and the Committee for the Revisal of the Laws in 1776-79.
Misleading impressions that little political or social change accompanied the revolution in legal thinking were fostered by those Virginians who by 1805 saw the assault on the county magistracy as a threat to the Commonwealth's cultural life.
Lawyers like TJ who had grown to maturity in the 1750's and 1760's led the attack on the local courts but their reform efforts were only partly successful.
Only peripherally on TJ but useful background.

Notes:
Analyzes thoughtfully the philosophic implications of the Declaration but does not confront TJ directly.
Sees the Declaration as a touchstone for the evaluation of the American situation at any given time as well as the articulation of a philosophy of freedom which supports American civil society.
Discusses the notion of unalienable rights and the specific rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and comments on some major problems resulting from the individualism at the heart of the Founder's political philosophy, on the instrumental concept of government implied by their philosophy, and on the ill-founded optimism that the establishment of liberty would necessarily lead to equality.

Notes:
Argues that TJ's Declaration launched a revolutionary tradition that has been continued "by the best representatives of the American proletariat," but the social system of the U.
S.
today, dominated by "monopoly capital," works to repress both the Jeffersonian "norms of bourgeois democracy" as well as "socially progressive legislation."
Discusses how interpreters of the Declaration have rewritten the Declaration as a more conservative instrument by emphasizing property rights, left out of TJ's formulation of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and by asserting the priority of religious principles.

In an essay on the imposition of the physical image of antiquity on the American scene compares TJ to Benjamin West and Horatio Greenough.
Where West only hoped for an emulation of classical virtue, TJ sought to revive the form itself of the Roman republic, as evidenced by the Capitol for Virginia.
By the time of Greenough's portrait of George Washington classical values were no longer intelligible as they had been to TJ and his contemporaries.

Describes the Report on Manufactures as a basic defense of the "acquisitive principle" and after claiming that TJ is "one of Rousseau's greatest disciples," reduces the difference between them the preference for economic diversification vs.
specialization, also understood as a tension between the primacy of public prosperity vs.
political moralism.
Sees Hamilton as at the head of a tradition of liberty, TJ at one of equality. Too neat.

Title: Religion and Politics: The Intentions of the Authors of the First Amendment.
Publisher: American Enterprise Institute,
Place of Publication: Washington, D.C.:
Date: (1978)
Extent: pp.40
Notes:
Contends that debates in the First Congress and also the positions of Madison and TJ suggest that Congress did not mean the establishment clause of the First Amendment to require strict neutrality between religion and irreligion, nor did the founders understand the free exercise of religion clause as recognizing anyone's right to claim an exemption to a valid, civil law.
The discussion of TJ's position on religious freedom is somewhat unhistorical and also implies that Locke was the only important influence on his ideas in this regard.
The discussion of TJ and Madison does not seem adequately to support the conclusion that the framers, unlike the recent Supreme Court, would have permitted non-discriminatory assistance to religion.

."
Publication: William and Mary Quarterly.

Date: (1978)
Extent: 85-99.
Notes:
Discusses Morellet's translation of the Notes
which TJ later condemned as "interverted, abridged, mutilated, and often reversing the sense of the original."
By considering Morellet's conception of the translator's role, the circumstances surrounding the publication of the French edition, and by making a comparison of parallel passages, the author argues that the translator's version met high standards of precision, elegance, and literary ethics.
Valuable study of the French publication of Notes.

He was also able to mobilize the power of his party, and he kept the government open to the people.

A suggestive monograph which argues that although TJ had a "defensive mentality," he "actively used violence either directly or indirectly in his policies against the Barbary pirates, Spain, England, and France to maintain his country's independence and security....
He was more a pragmatist than a pacifist and continually weighed possibilities, risks and gains....
If Jefferson seems a protoClausewitzian, it is because he emerged from the same age, with many of the same assumptions about the use of war, and he consistently operated on the basis of these assumptions while in and out of public office."

Date: (1979)
Extent: 137-52.
Notes:
Compares the Autobiography
of Franklin, " l'homme moyen sensuel
, in a very low key," with TJ's Notes
.
Argues that TJ, unlike Franklin, never forgets his position within an extant order which is a "`closed,' agrarian regime."
Hence TJ was not a real egalitarian or "uniformitarian," and his words supporting equality and universal freedom were merely "ceremonial" articulations in the interest of amity and public peace.
Claims that the touchstone to separate the authentic TJ from the merely "ceremonial" mask is the commitment to "popular sovereignty in the deepest sense."
Enclosed by the extant order of ante-bellum Virginia, TJ's vision was pastoral, traditionally "a product of the submissive imagination, which says yes to the providential in the human condition" and like classic pastoral has room for "a little benevolent slavery." Does not say how much slavery a "little" is.

the notion of self-evident truths, although they take different stands toward it.
Explores their discussion of TJ as moral discourse and considers the way in which the past is or is not relevant for the present.

Title: "Introduction" to Selected Writings of Thomas Jefferson.
Publisher: AHM Publishing,
Place of Publication: Chicago:
Date: (1979)
Extent: vii-xliv.
Notes:
Plays off the difference between TJ as a proponent of abstract universal truths and his genius as a partisan political leader.
Argues for a basically political orientation of all of TJ's thought in the interest of human equality and contends that his political science combined institutional and sociological ways of understanding politics, often thought to be antithetical, by insisting that institutions must be kept fixed in order to secure liberty and that only a republican society could in turn preserve a fixed constitution.

Title: "Jefferson as a Reader of Bodin: Suggestions for Further Studies"
Publication: Fundamental Studies on Jean Bodin,
ed. J. P. Mayer
Publisher: Arno Press
Place of Publication: New York
Date: (1979)
Extent: 1-32. (separately paginated).
Notes:
Argues for TJ's knowledge of Bodin and cites markings in his copy of Les six livres
along with much less persuasive evidence.
Seems to wish to find single "sources" for TJ's ideas but pulls back from claiming more direct influence for Bodin than as an early advocate of the conception of sovereignty as bounded by divine and natural law.

Title: "Enlightenment Ethics"
Publication: American Ethical Thought
Publisher: Nelson-Hall,
Place of Publication: Chicago:
Date: (1979)
Extent: 29-43.
Notes:
Sees TJ as central to the American Enlightenment, its "most influential and brilliant mind."
In a brief compass gives a good overview of his moral thought, focusing on the role of the moral sense, the concept of natural rights, and his support for freedom of belief.
Argues that the greatest shortcoming of the American Enlightenment, and TJ's as ethical thinker, was the failure to abolish slavery, although agrees with Commager's claim that TJ did more for the cause of abolition than any of the other founding fathers.

Title: "Within the `Bowels' of the Republic,"
Publication: Iron Cages: Race and Culture in Nineteenth-Century America
Publisher: Knopf,
Place of Publication: New York:
Date: (1979)
Extent: 36-65.
Notes:
The author understands culture as synonymous with Gramsci's notion of cultural hegemony and aspires to answer the question, "How did white men in nineteenth-century America repress or `mutilate' themselves, become `less' than they `were,' and construct a culture of `self-renunciation' and `alienation'? And how did this process of domination produce a rage so intense it overwhelmed even rationality itself?" Argues for a TJ driven by reason (misstating the implications of the moral sense philosophy in order to do so), who felt threatened by the differences women, blacks, and Indians opposed to a homogenized republican society.
Important attempt to link TJ's attitudes to blacks with those he held toward Indians, but the author is too driven by a somewhat simplistic Marxist thesis to give a sufficiently thick or nuanced description of TJ's thought and practice.
