The Founding Fathers and the Politics of Character
"A wonderful blend of history and literary studies.... It is impossible for me to describe adequately the elegance with which Trees has written this work.... [I]ts chief contribution is to enhance our understanding of the politics and political thought of the 1790s." - Jan Ellen Lewis, Rutgers University, Newark "This is an immensely impressive book of unusual range and balance. Trees is as much at home dealing with the private sphere and the public, as with the personal realm and the political." - Michael Zuckerman, University of Pennsylvania"
