Although the impact of works such as Common Sense and The Rights of
Man has led historians to study Thomas Paine's role in the American
Revolution and political scientists to evaluate his contributions
to political theory, scholars have tacitly agreed not to treat him
as a literary figure. This book not only redresses this omission,
but also demonstrates that Paine's literary sensibility is
particularly evident in the very texts that confirmed his
importance as a theorist. And yet, because of this association with
the 'masses', Paine is often dismissed as a mere propagandist.
Thomas Paine and the Literature of Revolution recovers Paine as a
transatlantic popular intellectual who would translate the major
political theories of the eighteenth century into a language that
was accessible and appealing to ordinary citizens on both sides of
the Atlantic.
