A propos de cet article

Neuware - This is not another treatise on the heroic nature of the Jeffersonian imagination. Rather, it offers another reading generated by Joseph Campbell's reluctant hero in The Hero of A Thousand Faces as offered by Jeffrey Hildner in his prescient Epilogue 'Labyrinth R.U.N.' It is rather weaving fictions, constructing dialogues, (Rashomon) again and again on Jefferson as boy/man, as adolescent, as dreamer and instrumental explorer of here and there, close at hand and worlds long, long ago and far, far away.
