Synopsis

NOTES ON THE STATES OF VIRGINIA is at once a scientific discourse, an attempt to define America, and an examination of the idea of freedom. With the same genius and clear prose style that informs the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson chroniclesVirginia's natural, social and political history. Frank Shuffleton discusses the work's origins, composition and initial reception. His introduction focuses on Jefferson's response to contemporary writings on "New World Degeneracy"; his differingtreatment of Blacks and Native Americans; and his influential role in creating a mythicized American self-image.
