A Political Biography of Thomas Paine cover

Speck's biography examines Paine's work afresh, in light of new thinking about the role of religion in the formation of his political ideology, and also places Paine within the recently-developed context of 'Atlantic History'.

'a comprehensive and thoughtful work that deserves to be not only in academic libraries but also those of anyone seriously interested in Thomas Paine... [it] must surely become one of the most important of Paine biographies and deserves a wide readership' Journal of Radical History 'brings out the important points in Paine's career ... admirable.'
