Über den Autor

Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826) was an American Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and the third President of the United States (1801–1809). An emblematic figure of early American history, Jefferson was also a polymath engaged in numerous fields, including horticulture, archaeology, paleontology, and linguistics. He is credited with the establishment of the University of Virginia after his presidency. One of his enduring literary contributions is his 'Autobiography', which provides an account of his life up until 1790 and offers insight into the workings of the early American republic. Jefferson's 'Autobiography' is not only a personal narrative but also a window into the ideological and political landscape of a young nation. His writing style is reflective of the Enlightenment era, characterized by an emphasis on reason, clarity, and an invocation to natural rights and self-evident truths. As an author, Jefferson's contributions extend beyond his official works into numerous letters and documents that have been integral to understanding the history and governance of the United States. Jefferson's influence on American literature and politics extends beyond his writings, encompassing his vast contributions to the structure and philosophy of the American government.
