4.1(296)

Thomas Paine follows the radical writer whose pamphlets gave clear, forceful language to revolutionary politics. It examines Common Sense, which attacked monarchy and argued for American independence, and The American Crisis, written to sustain morale during the war.

The biography continues through Paine’s involvement in the French Revolution, his defence of republican government in Rights of Man and the religious controversy caused by The Age of Reason. It shows how print culture allowed an immigrant artisan to influence political debate across the Atlantic world.
