Synopsis&&LICommon Sense and Other Writings&&L/I, by &&LBThomas Paine&&L/B, is part of the &&LIBarnes & Noble Classics&&L/I&&LI &&L/Iseries, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of &&LIBarnes & Noble Classics&&L/I: New introductions commissioned from today''s top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader''s viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriate All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. &&LIBarnes & Noble Classics &&L/Ipulls together a constellation of influences--biographical, historical, and literary--to enrich each reader''s understanding of these enduring works. Though he did not emigrate from England to the American colonies until 1774, just a few months before the Revolutionary War began, &&LBThomas Paine&&L/B had an enormous impact on that war and the new nation that emerged from it. &&LICommon Sense&&L/I, the instantly popular pamphlet he published in January 1776, argued that the goal of the struggle against the British should be not simply tax reform, as many were calling for, but complete independence. His rousing, radical voice was balanced by the equally independence-minded but more measured tones of Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence later that year.&&LBR&&LBRIn later works, such as &&LIThe Rights of Man&&L/I, &&LIThe Age of Reason&&L/I, and other selections included in this volume, Paine proved himself a visionary moralist centuries ahead of his time. He believed that every human has the natural right to life''s necessities and that government''s role should be to provide for those in dire need. An impassioned opponent of all forms of slavery, he understood that no one in poverty is truly free, a lesson still to be learned by many of our leaders today. &&LBJoyce Appleby&&L/B, Professor Emerita at the University of California, Los Angeles, has followed the trajectory of American nation-building in her books &&LICapitalism and a New Social Order: The Republican Vision of the 1790s&&L/I, &&LIInheriting the Revolution: The First Generation of Americans&&L/I, &&LIThomas Jefferson&&L/I, and &&LIA Restless Past: History and the American Public&&L/I., &&LICommon Sense and Other Writings&&L/I, by &&LBThomas Paine&&L/B, is part of the &&LIBarnes & Noble Classics&&L/I&&LI &&L/Iseries, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras.
