书籍简介

这是第一本收录了托马斯·杰斐逊的作品和关于他的作品——来自他的时代和我们的时代。

《汤姆斯·杰弗逊作品选(诺顿文学解读系列)》试图让读者充分了解托马斯·杰斐逊对美国智力发展的重要性，特别是在政治理论和科学学习;杰斐逊在美国领土和主权扩张中所扮演的角色;以及杰弗逊关于奴隶制和种族的争议性关系，这些都是美国历史上的关键问题。

编者挑选了杰弗逊最重要的出版物——《英属美洲权利概述》、《独立宣言》、《弗吉尼亚笔记》——以及洛根家人被谋杀的弗吉尼亚笔记的附录，以及他在刘易斯和克拉克远征中给国会的信息。此外，一百多封杰斐逊的信件(1760-1826)是从他丰富的信件中精心挑选出来的，让读者把杰斐逊看做一个人，也看做一个公众人物。所有文本均附有详细的注释说明。

“Contexts”重印了把杰斐逊和他的作品放在美国早期共和国的当代文献，包括托马斯·潘恩、约翰·亚当斯、弗朗索瓦-让·德·波伏娃和路德·马丁的作品。还包括对杰斐逊和他的作品的不同和早期的反应，其中包括约翰昆西亚当斯，威廉卡伦布莱恩特，华盛顿欧文，詹姆斯费尼莫尔库珀和伊丽莎白卡迪斯坦顿。

"Criticism"提供了现代诠释和分析的代表性作品，证实了杰斐逊的持续相关性。其中包括安妮特·戈登·里德(Annette Gordon Reed)、彼得·奥纳夫(Peter Onuf)和道格拉斯·l·威尔逊(Douglas L. Wilson)等人从多个学科角度进行的12项发人深省的评估。

还包括一份选定的参考书目。

The first book to include Thomas Jefferson’s writings and writings about him—from his era and ours.

This Norton Critical Edition seeks to give readers a full understanding of Thomas Jefferson’s importance to the intellectual development of the United States, particularly in political theory and scientific learning; of Jefferson’s role in the expansion of the territory and sovereignty of the United States; and of Jefferson’s controversial relation to slavery and race as key issues in American history.

The editor has selected Jefferson’s most important published texts—A Summary View of the Rights of British America, the Declaration of Independence, and Notes on the State of Virginia—along with An Appendix to the Notes on Virginia Relative to the Murder of Logan’s Family and his Message to Congress on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In addition, more than one hundred of Jefferson’s letters (1760–1826) have been judiciously selected from his rich body of correspondence, allowing readers to see Jefferson as a person as well as a public figure. All texts are accompanied by detailed explanatory annotations.

“Contexts” reprints contemporary documents that place Jefferson and his writings within the early American Republic, including works by Thomas Paine, John Adams, François-Jean de Beauvoir, and Luther Martin. Also included are diverse and early responses to Jefferson and his writings by, among others, John Quincy Adams, William Cullen Bryant, Washington Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

"Criticism" provides representative works of modern interpretation and analysis that confirm Jefferson's continuing relevance. Included are twelve thought-provoking assessments from several disciplinary perspectives by, among others, Annette Gordon Reed, Peter Onuf, and Douglas L. Wilson.

A Selected Bibliography is also included.

作者简介

托马斯·杰斐逊(Thomas Jefferson)是美国第三任总统(1801-1809)，《独立宣言》(Declaration of Independence, 1776)的主要起草人，也是推动美国共和理想的最具影响力的开国元勋之一。他设想美国是一个伟大“自由帝国”背后的力量，这个“自由帝国”将促进共和主义，并反对大英帝国的帝国主义。

Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States (1801-1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and one of the most influential Founding Fathers for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States. He envisioned America as the force behind a great "Empire of Liberty" that would promote republicanism and counter the imperialism of the British Empire.
