Ellis, Joseph J.
Founding Brothers : The Revolutionary Generation / by Joseph J. Ellis.
Publisher: New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 2000.. xi, 288 p., index, 25 cm. "No event in American history which was so improbable at the time has seemed so inevitable in retrospect as the American Revolution. On the inevitability side, it is true there were voices back then urging prospective patriots to regard American independence as an early version of manifest destiny. Tom Paine, for example, claimed that it was simply a matter of common sense that an island could not rule a continent. And Thomas Jefferson's lyrical rendering of the reasons for the entire revolutionary enterprise emphasized the self-evident character of the principles at stake." Second printing. Stock# 44,546x.

American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson
Publisher: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1997.. 2nd ptg. 24 X 16½ cm. Near Fine/Fine. Grey boards, grey titles on green spine, xiv, 365, [2] pp, notes, index. Tail of spine a bit rumpled. DJ in Brodart archival cover. Ellis's portrait shows Thomas Jefferson to have been a complex character, capable of written rhetorical brilliance, yet rarely delivering a speech; a champion of liberty and a slaveholder; a man capable, without irony, of expressing directly contradictory opinions; one whose utterances can be mined to support nearly any position, and hence our American sphinx.

Joseph J Ellis
AMERICAN SPHINX, The Character of THOMAS JEFFERSON,
Publisher: Borzoi Books, Alfred A Knopf, New York - ISBN:0679444904 third printing 1997. hardcover, 6½" x 9½", with dust jacket 366 pages In his twilight years Thomas Jefferson was almost taking on the luster of a national icon, which was polisheded off by his auspicious death (on July 4, 1826); and in the subsequent seventeen decades his celebrity has been inflated beyond recognition. In this book we watch him exhibiting both great depth and great shallowness, combining massive learning with extraordinary naivete, piercing insights with self-deception on the grand scale. He is Thomas Jefferson, after all - America's very own sphinx. Jacket protected under transparent covering. AS NEW book in AS NEW unclipped dust jacket

HIS EXCELLENCY: GEORGE WASHINGTON
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf NY 2004. Publisher's full black cloth, gilt lettering on spine, fore-edge deckle. 8vo. 320, (6) pp. Illustrated with B&W photographs. This is a new, unopened, unmarked copy. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect, pristine condition. AS NEW/AS NEW. This biographical study of George Washington, the founding father who was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, " reexamines the personal and public sides of the man who set this nation on its course and became its first president. Joseph Ellis draws on voluminous research, and especially on the archives in the University of Virginia, displaying the same masterly grasp of the period as he did in his bestselling FOUNDING BROTHERS and his biography of Thomas Jefferson, AMERICAN SPHINX. Setting Washington in his time, class, and milieu, Ellis explores how Washington's relations with his family as well as his commercial relations with England as a landowner shaped his thinking, and how Washington rose above his contemporaries in his evolving views on slavery. Ellis comes up with a fresh picture of a landowner, general, and statesman who played a significant role in the debates of the period about which direction the new nation should take. His solid account of this decisive figure brushes away the myths of history and presents a refreshingly readable and interesting portrait.

American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies at the Founding of the Republic (Random House Large Print (Cloth/Paper))
Publisher: Random House Large Print, 2007. ISBN: 073932618X. Brand New, Paperback, clean, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases Reviewers embraced American Creation for the same reason they enjoyed Ellis’s previous books: his treatment of the Founding Fathers is neither idolatrous nor iconoclastic. He portrays them as the fascinating, complex, and human characters they really were. Some historians disagreed with details of Ellis’s interpretation, but they tended to emphasize that, like the founders themselves, Ellis has created a useful framework in which the ideas of the Revolutionary period can be discussed. Ellis’s prose, on the other hand, did not inspire any comparisons with Thomas Jefferson’s; in fact, several reviewers suggested another round of editing. But all critics agreed that the author’s masterful handling of the material checked and balanced the occasional tyrannical sentence. B18255F
