A collection of writings by Thomas Paine previously unseen since their first appearance, including political pieces, private letters and verse. Covers his Common Sense years in the revolutionary American colonies; his time in Europe, when he published Rights of Man and The Age of Reason ; and his last years in the firmly united states of America.Foreword; G.W.Trompf Preface Acknowledgements Introduction: Thomas Paine: Revolutionary Wordsmith Unknown Writings by Thomas Paine

'Burgess provides the finely detailed explanations of the circumstances in which most of the pieces were published .... A Collection of Unknown Writings suggests that we need not perfectly understand an individual to understand or appreciate their writings.'

- TLS

HAZEL BURGESS?is an Australian researcher with undergraduate and doctoral degrees from the University of Sydney, Australia. She has spent many years searching for the truth of the private individual behind the public face of the eighteenth-century radical pamphleteer, Thomas Paine. This collection of hitherto unknown and few little-known writings reveals glimpses of the man of whom history knows little.
