The pamphlet series, written by Thomas Paine during the American Revolution, consists of thirteen numbered issues published between 1776 and 1777, followed by three more from 1777 to 1783. The first pamphlet appeared in The Pennsylvania Journal in December 1776, where Paine used the pseudonym "Common Sense." The series addresses the struggles and motivations of the time, aiming to inspire support for the revolutionary cause and articulate the philosophical underpinnings of American independence.

Paine's daring prose paved the way for the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War. This volume also includes " The Crisis ," " The Age of Reason ," and " Agrarian Justice ."

Thomas Paine was arguably the single most influential political writer in the English-speaking world during the great upheavals of the American and French Revolutions. For presentation in the Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought series Bruce Kuklick brings together all the classic Paine texts - Common Sense, The Rights of Man and The Age of Reason - as well as the first of Paine's papers on The Crisis of 1776. The customary series features - a brief chronology, notes for further reading, and a succinct introduction to the principal themes of each text - are all appended. This selection will appeal to students in a variety of disciplines from political theory to American history and enable further generations to engage at first hand with one of the most gifted and popular expositors of radical ideas ever to generate mass support.

Thomas Paine was the first international revolutionary. His Common Sense was the most widely read pamphlet of the American Revolution, while his Rights of Man sent out a clarion call for revolution throughout the world.

Demonstrates the extent to which Thomas Paine was an inspiration to Americans in their struggle for independence. This book contains Paine's major works including The Rights of Man, Common Sense, and the first part of The Age of Reason.

Thomas Paine was the first international revolutionary. His Common Sense (1776) was the most widely read pamphlet of the American Revolution and his Rights of Man (1791-2), the most famous defense of the French Revolution, sent out a clarion call for revolution throughout the world. Paine paid the price for his principles: he was outlawed in Britain, narrowly escaped execution in France, and was vilified as an atheist and a Jacobin on his return to America.This new edition contains the complete texts of both Rights of Man and Common Sense, as well as six other powerfully political writings - American Crisis I, American Crisis XIII, Agrarian Justice, Letter to Jefferson, Letter Addressed to the Addressers on the Late Proclamation and Dissertation on the First Principles of Government - all of which illustrate why Paine's ideas still resonate in the modern welfare states of today.

"We can call Thomas Paine-eminent Founder, verbal bomb-thrower, Deist, revolutionary, and rationalist-the spark of the American Revolution. In his influential pamphlets, Paine codified both colonial outrage and the intellectual justification for independence, arguing consistently and convincingly for Enlightenment values and the power of the people. He was a master of political rhetoric, from the sarcastic insult to the diplomatic aperçu. Today, we are living in times that, as Paine said, try men's souls. Whatever your politics, if you're seeking a new Paine-with rhetoric to ignite social and political transformations-where better to start than at the source? This is a work that provides quotes from Thomas Paine's writings"-- Provided by publisher
