Cosmopolitanism and Nationhood in the Age of Jefferson explores the origins of modern conceptions of world citizenship and the nation in Jeffersonian America. In today s discussions of a transnational world, cosmopolitanism tends to be understood as a potential antidote to problematic aspects of nationhood indeed, cosmopolitanism is often treated as a direct antonym of nationalism. From the perspective of the eighteenth century, however, such an understanding would hardly be self-evident: for Thomas Jefferson and many of his peers in the late Enlightenment, it was possible to conceive of themselves as broad-minded cosmopolitans and as ardent advocates of national interests, without having to emphasize a potential of conflict. Jeffersonian cosmopolitanism, as analyzed in the contributions to this volume, could thus become a powerful secular source of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American exceptionalism.
