"The Founding of Thomas Jefferson's University examines the development of one of
America's oldest and preeminent educational institutions from a wide range of perspectives,
considering aspects such as Jefferson's linked intellectual and architectural visions,
the often unruly students, the important roles of enslaved people, and the place of
the University of Virginia in the context of early American education. The book situates
the creation of the university in the context of developments in education in the
early republic and the revolutionary changes to which the university contributed"
