Thomas Paine: A Collection of Unknown Writings
Details
A collection of writings by Thomas Paine previously unseen since their first appearance, including political pieces, private letters and verse. Covers his Common Sense years in the revolutionary American colonies; his time in Europe, when he published Rights of Man and The Age of Reason ; and his last years in the firmly united states of America.
'Burgess provides the finely detailed explanations of the circumstances in which most of the pieces were published .... A Collection of Unknown Writings suggests that we need not perfectly understand an individual to understand or appreciate their writings.'
TLS
