Scandal at Bizarre: Rumor and Reputation in… von Cynthia A. Kierner

An excellent microhistorical treatment, using a curious incident among the Randolph family as a focal point to tackle the knotty personal stories of the Randolph clan, the power of rumor and gossip in the early national period, and the long-lasting effects of scandal on those involved and those close to them. Well-researched and clearly written.

Martha Jefferson Randolph, Daughter of Monticello… von Cynthia A. Kierner

The book was very well written and I learned much more about her than I expected to. After reading this, I felt empathy for Martha Jefferson Randolph that her life to turn out the way it she thought it would, considering her family experiences as a child. It was interesting to learn that she was such an emotional individual and prone to depression and melancholy. I appreciated how the author included not only facts and timelines, she also provided insight to what was occurring at that time in history that helped develop my own opinion on how Martha Randolph dealt with her views on home and family. Definitely a book I would recommend to those that enjoy people in history.… (mehr)
