\nSurprise the World:<\/strong>
\nThe Essential Writings
\n<\/strong>of the Founding Fathers<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nForeword by Joseph J. Ellis\u00a0<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n -Basic Books, 2006<\/em><\/p>\n
\nJefferson, Adams, Madison. Subjects of hundreds of
\nbiographies, they are rarely allowed to speak to us in
\ntheir own words. But it was their words and ideas that
\nmattered most to them. As James Madison wrote, \u201cThe
\nbiography of an author must be a history of his writings.\u201d
\nHere, finally, these towering figures come together in one
\nvolume\u2014in dialogue with one another, and with us.<\/p>\n
\nread, questioned, debated, and, most of all, wrote. They
\ntheorized about government and political institutions;
\nconsidered the problem of parties and factions; and
\nreflected on religion, education, happiness, and even on
\nlove. In this volume, distinguished historian Susan Dunn
\nbrings together the Founders\u2019 most important letters,
\nspeeches, and essays and sets them in the context of their
\nlives and times.<\/p>\n
\nfirst republic of the modern world. Their courage, creativity,
\nintellect, and genius would never be surpassed.
\nHere they are, in the present tense of their extraordinary
\nlives. To understand who they were, this is where we
\nmust begin.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
