The Transatlantic Republican: Thomas Paine and the Age of Revolutions: Amsterdam Monographs in American Studies, cartea 12
Autor Bernard Vincenten Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2004
Not only have Common Sense, Rights of Man and The Age of Reason become classics of Anglo-American literature, but, from the moment they appeared, they ushered in a new type of writer, a new way of writing—and a new class of readers. How Paine stormed the “Bastille of Words,” and in so doing served both the “republic” of letters and the cause of democracy, is the real subject of this book.
