Thomas Paine, Prophet and Martyr of Democracy

Descripción

Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809) was an English-American writer and pamphleteer who authored the pamphlet "Common Sense," which was widely read and helped sow the seeds of the American Revolution. Unrecognized for his role in galvanizing American colonials to action for over 100 years, his reputation was highlighted in Moncure Conway's scholarly 1892 biography. Agnes Best presents Paine in a non-scholarly way that focuses his newly discovered reputation. Frontis portrait and 14 additional illustrations. Contains a bibliography and index. Original red cloth publisher's binding with gilt spine lettering (lettering a bit dull). A nice clean, tight and unmarked book with no interior or exterior markings. Previous owner bookplate.; B&W Illustrations; 8vo, 8"- 9" tall; 413 pages. N° de ref. del artículo 18459
