This major collection demonstrates the extent to which Thomas Paine was an inspiration to the Americans in their struggle for independence, a passionate supporter of the French Revolution and perhaps the outstanding English radical writer of his age. It contains all of Paine's major works including Rights of Man , his groundbreaking defence of the revolutionary cause in France; Common Sense , which won thousands over to the side of the American rebels; and the first part of The Age of Reason , a ferocious attack on Christianity. The shorter pieces--on capital punishment, social reform and the abolition of slavery--also confirm the great versatility and power of this master of democratic prose.
