Old World, New World: America and Europe in the Age of Jefferson grew out of workshops in Salzburg and Charlottesville sponsored by Monticello's International Center for Jefferson Studies, and revisits a question of longstanding interest to American historians: the nature of the relationship between America and Europe during the Age of Revolution. Study of the American-European relationship in recent years has been moved forward by the notion of Atlantic history and the study of the Atlantic world. The present volume adds a fresh contribution in that it refocuses attention to the question of the interdependent relationship between Europe and America. ""Old World, New World"" addresses topics that are both timely, given contemporary public events, but that are also of interest to early modern and modern historians. By focusing on the question of the relationship between America and Europe, as well as using Thomas Jefferson as a lens to examine this relationship, this book carves out its own niche in the history of the Revolutionary Atlantic world.

Reviews for Old World, New World
"This is an impressive volume of essays that explores the contested relationship of Europe and America during the Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary era. Diplomacy and politics form the kernel of the collection, but environmental history, the history of letters, agricultural history, art history, and women's history are also included. The common thread is, of course, Jefferson, and the people who surround him. His world is richly illumined by this study." - Philip Morgan, Harry C. Black Professor of History, Johns Hopkins University, author of Strangers within the Realm: Cultural Margins of the First British Empire"
