Specificatii
Gordon S. Wood presents the final volume in his definitive
three-volume edition of the writings of a great American Founder. A
powerful polemicist, insightful political theorist, and tireless
diplomat, John Adams (1735-1826) was a vital and controversial
figure during the early years of the American republic. Once
overshadowed by Washington and Jefferson, Adams has become the
subject of renewed interest, with a best-selling biography and
acclaimed television series reintroducing him to millions. Now,
this final volume of a comprehensive three-volume edition makes his
important writings from the early national period broadly available
to general readers. Bringing together letters, diary excerpts,
political essays, speeches, and presidential messages, Writings
from the New Nation 1784-1826 illuminates Adams's service as a
diplomat in the Netherlands and England; his eight years as vice
president under Washington; and his tumultous single term as
president. The first person to win a contested presidential
election and then to be defeated for reelection, Adams faced bitter
criticism from both Jeffersonian Republicans and Hamiltonian
Federalists while striving to prevent an undeclared naval conflict
with Revolutionary France from escalating into full-scale war.
Selections from A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the
United States of America (1787-88) and Discourses on Davila
(1790-91) demonstrate his insights into the strengths and
weaknesses of ancient and modern political systems, while letters
to his wife and children illuminate the passionate and mercurial
personality of one of our most fascinating Founders. This volume is
published simultaneously with Abigail Adams: Letters, the first
comprehensive collection of the extraordinary correspondence of
Adams's wife and key advisor.
