Ebook: The Transatlantic Republican: Thomas Paine and the Age of Revolutions

Vincent (American history and civilization, U. of Orleans and U. of Venice) collects and slightly revises 11 articles originally published between 1986 and 1999 on Paine (1731-1809). He attributes the success of Paine's writings both in America and in Europe to the simplicity of the revolutionary doctrines he formulated in them, and the simplicity or directness and accessibility of the style in which he formulated these doctrines.
