F
rom his migration to America in 1774 to his death in New York City in 1809, Thomas Paine’s ideology was at the centre of American political and social debate. In fact, his ideological
inuence is still felt in modern-day America. His pro-Independence pamphlet,
Common  Sense
 (1776) convinced many colonists to reject
monarchy and Englishmen’s rights in favour of a broader interpretation of republicanism and the natural rights of mankind. Famously,
General George Washington ordered that Paine’s inspirational
 American Crisis
(1776) be read to his troops before the Battle of Trenton, which helped
turn the tide at a critical juncture in the War of
Independence.
This six-volume facsimile edition brings together
rare texts from books, periodicals and newspaper
contributions to unearth the contemporary
 American response to Thomas Paine. Responses to
Common Sense
,
 Rights of Man
,
 Age of Reason
 and
 Letter to George Washington
 are included.
This edition complements Pickering & Chatto’s
highly successful editions on eighteenth-century radical thought, including
The Political Writings of the 1790s
. It will be important for scholars of
Eighteenth-Century Studies, American History, Radical History and Political Science.
