A Stanford University Press classic.
Back Jacket
From the simple fact that Jefferson's text was intended to be read aloud as a literal declaration of political independence, Fliegelman has woven a truly brilliant picture of Jefferson, the document, and American politics and letters. . . . The result is a profoundly exciting new way of understanding the Declaration, its author, and the performative act of the Revolution itself.--Isaac Kramnick, Cornell University.
