A comprehensive study of the social and political thought of Thomas
Paine, one of the most important political writers of the modern
era and author of "The Rights of Man". This study concentrates on
that political tract, and places it in the context of his earlier
writings and evolving thoughts. It sets Paine's work against a
background of natural law and rights writings, republicanism and
radicalism and Paine's Quaker and deist beliefs. The book
demonstrates the underlying consistency of Paine's thought,
considers at length the British reception of "The Rights of Man"
and in its discussion of Paine's ideas presents a new and more
sophisticated interpretation of his life, thought and influence.
