Thomas Paine: Common Sense for the Modern Era

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (22844 ratings)

Description:A definitive contribution for scholars and graduate students researching the life and work of Thomas Paine; from the preface by Ronald F. King: "This volume is the consequence of a conference held at San Diego State University on October 21-22, 2005. It is intended as the first in a series of conference-based volumes focusing on historical individuals whose independent spirit, freethinking, and controversial views have become essential to the definition of the American experience. It is fitting that Paine takes first place within this series. As a revolutionist in three countries— America, Britain, and France—his pen helped shape the emerging liberal democratic world of the late eighteenth century. In America, he gave voice to the Common Sense of colonial discontent and provided needed encouragement at times of Crisis when the democratic Prospect seemed most bleak. In Britain, he challenged hierarchical monarchy and articulated a vision of the basic Rights of Man that resulted in his trial and conviction for seditious libel. In France, he envisioned a dawning of The Age of Reason, was elected as a delegate to National Convention, but spent ten months in the Luxembourg prison at the height of the Terror. Paine was far more than the most visible and eloquent propagandist for the birth era of liberal revolution. He merits our attention, intellectually, by the content of his prose and the depth of his vision." Includes essays by: Eric Foner, Brian McCartin, Susan Jacoby, Harvey Kaye, Seth Cotlar, Timothy Killikelly, Hazel Burgess, Kenneth W. Burchell, Bryson Clevenger, Jr., David M. Robinson, Eric R.
