Publisher Synopsis
A very substantial work of historical scholarship. * Jesse Norman, The Spectator * Ingenious and enthralling. * Colin Kidd, The Guardian * Clarks erudition is nothing if not formidable. His willingness to argue provocatively against the grain is refreshing... we need voices like Clarks, if only to keep us grounded. * Darrin M McMahon, Literary Review * Must read for any who are seriously interested in political theory, the American Revolution, and Thomas Paine and his legacy. * Journal of the American Revolution * Clark's book goes into the finest details about the events of Paine's and the character of his thought ... he has produced an encyclopaedic study of Thomas Paine and his environment. * Stan Newens, Europe for the Many * J. C. D. Clark has taken considerable trouble, in this carefully presented and closely argued monograph, to avoid anachronisms and unwarranted assumptions. * MICHAEL SONENSCHER, King's College, Cambridge * Clark provides an erudite account of Paine [...] this controversial account is likely to spark useful debate among Paine scholars and Enlightenment experts. Summing Up: Recommended. * M. G. Spencer, Brock University, CHOICE * an ambitious project of reviving the intellectual context surrounding Paine's tracts in the North Atlantic world ... this book is a welcome contribution to scholarship * Minchul Kim, History * Clark has done much to (re)invigorate eighteenth-century British history scholarship, and his new tome Thomas Paine will surely raise interest. * R. J. W. Mills, Queen Mary, University of London, European History Quarterly * Read more...
