5.0 out of 5 stars
Great resource to own
The "Education of a Citizen" is probably the best compilation of critcal essays and reviews on Jefferson's educational theory in bookstores today. Gilreath has selected writings that in and of themselves stand out with high merit, and when read together, they blend with one another and make for a truly enlightening experience.

Deplorable " Deconstuction Scholarship"
This beautiful hard bound book with the picture of Thomas Jefferson on the cover is deceiving. It contains 18 essays on Thomas Jefferson and his views on citizenship, education, slavery,and religion. Of the 18 only about 4 essays are really fair and bereft of the political correctness that has infected the American history "profession". Douglas L. Wilson, on...

This review is from: Thomas Jefferson and the Education of a Citizen (Hardcover)
The "Education of a Citizen" is probably the best compilation of critcal essays and reviews on Jefferson's educational theory in bookstores today. Gilreath has selected writings that in and of themselves stand out with high merit, and when read together, they blend with one another and make for a truly enlightening experience. Those who wish to learn more about Jefferson's stance on education in a young America should look to this text for knowledge, and I can personally say hat they will not be sorry.

This review is from: Thomas Jefferson and the Education of a Citizen (Paperback)
This beautiful hard bound book with the picture of Thomas Jefferson on the cover is deceiving. It contains 18 essays on Thomas Jefferson and his views on citizenship, education, slavery,and religion. Of the 18 only about 4 essays are really fair and bereft of the political correctness that has infected the American history "profession". Douglas L. Wilson, on Jefferson's views on Literacy, David Mayers's of Jefferson's views on constitutional change ,Suzanne Morse on the "ward republics, and finally Liu Zuonchang's essay on the overall progrssivness of Jefferson are really the only good essays. The rest are libels on Jefferson using 20/21st century standards to judge an enlightened and progresive of the 18th/19th century. Overall, poor deconstruction scholarship.
