Paine and Jefferson in the Age of Revolutions (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas
The enormous popularity of his pamphlet Common Sense made
Thomas Paine one of the best-known patriots during the early years of American independence. His
subsequent service with the Continental Army, his publication of The American
Crisis (1776–83), and his work with Pennsylvania’s revolutionary government
consolidated his reputation as one of the foremost radicals of the Revolution. Thereafter, Paine
spent almost fifteen years in Europe, where he was actively involved in the French Revolution,
articulating his radical social, economic, and political vision in major publications such as
The Rights of Man (1791), The Age of Reason (1793-1807),
and Agrarian Justice (1797). Such radicalism was deemed a danger to the state in
his native Britain, where Paine was found guilty of sedition, and even in the United States some of
Paine’s later publications lost him a great deal of his early popularity.
Yet despite this legacy, historians have paid less attention to Paine than to other leading
Patriots such as Thomas Jefferson. In Paine and Jefferson in the Age of
Revolutions, editors Simon Newman and Peter Onuf present a collection of essays that
examine how the reputations of two figures whose outlooks were so similar have had such different
trajectories.
