Editorial Reviews
Review
'a comprehensive and thoughtful work that deserves to be not only in academic libraries but also those of anyone seriously interested in Thomas Paine... [it] must surely become one of the most important of Paine biographies and deserves a wide readership' Journal of Radical History 'brings out the important points in Paine's career ... admirable.' The Eighteenth-Century Intelligencer
