A central figure in Western history and American political thought,
Thomas Paine continues to provoke debate among politicians,
activists, and scholars. People of all ideological stripes are
inspired by his trenchant defense of the rights and good sense of
ordinary individuals, and his penetrating critiques of arbitrary
power.
This volume contains Paine's explosive "Common Sense" in its
entirety, including the oft-ignored Appendix, as well as selections
from his other major writings: "The American Crisis," "Rights of
Man, " and "The Age of Reason. "It also contains several of Paine's
shorter essays. All the documents have been transcribed directly
from the originals, making this edition the most reliable one
available. Essays by Ian Shapiro, Jonathan Clark, Jane Calvert, and
Eileen Hunt Botting bring Paine into sharp focus, illuminating his
place in the tumultuous decades surrounding the American and French
Revolutions and his larger historical legacy.
