"The letters of a person form the only full and genuine journal of his life," noted President Thomas Jefferson, who wrote nearly 20,000 letters in his own lifetime. In Letters From The Head & Heart, acclaimed historian Andrew Burstein invites listeners to rediscover Jefferson through an exploration of his most enduring public and private writings.
Immerse yourself in the revolutionary era with Jefferson's masterful prose, examining two of his best-known contributions to American history: the Declaration of Independence and his first inaugural address. On a more intimate level, delve into the poignant written dialogue between Jefferson and his dying wife, Martha. Through tender letters to his daughters and grandson, Burstein's exploration offers a rare glimpse into Jefferson's personal world, revealing the depth of his affections and the complexity of his character. Also featured are thought-provoking letters to friends and fellow thinkers, highlighted by the famous correspondence between the aging Jefferson and John Adams. These exchanges showcase a brilliant mind engaged in the intellectual and political discourse of his time, with insights that resonate powerfully today.
Narrated with passion and precision, Burstein's lively analysis brings Jefferson's words to life, inviting you to experience the legacy of a statesman, philosopher, and visionary whose ideas continue to shape our world.
