Now an established classic, Intellectual Origins of American
Radicalism was the first book to explore this alternative current
of American political thought. Stemming back to the
seventeenth-century English Revolution, many questioned private
property, the sovereignty of the nation-state, and slavery, and
affirmed the common man s ability to govern. By the time of the
American Revolution, Thomas Paine was the great exemplar of the
alternative intellectual tradition. In the nineteenth century, the
antislavery movement took hold of Thomas Paine s ideas and
fashioned them into an ideology that ultimately justified civil
war. This updated edition contains a new preface by the author,
which describes the inquiries that he undertook in his books of the
1960s and their conclusions. David Waldstreicher has contributed a
new historiographical essay that discusses the book s lasting
importance and contrasts its ideas with the work of Bernard Bailyn
and Gordon Wood."
