An excellent read.
More than scholarly, this book breathes new life into the story of Thomas Paine. Apart from the new works presented and others already in print, and not seen in former collections of his work, Hazel Burgess's explanatory editorial apparatus refreshingly reveals Paine as an ordinary mortal without detracting from his literary genius. I was fascinated to learn more of the man himself in all his moods.

This book makes sense of a previously mysterious and contradictory character who was not quite credible. An excellent read.

Little more than a "say so."
This book simply does not meet up to the claims of either the publisher or editor. Most works in this collection are NOT unknown and a good deal were demonstrably not written by Paine. Honestly, I believe it should not have been published since unsuspecting and ill-informed (students among them) are likely to be mislead. A full review just published in the Journal of Radical History of the Thomas Paine Society is available online with an easy search. ... Read more

Every generation and age must be as free to act for itself
This was required reading for a graduate course in the history of the French Revolution.For Thomas Paine, the eighteenth century was the Age of Enlightenment because for the first time humankind was throwing off the millstones of religious dogmatism and political despotism.Paine essentially believed that the rights of man encompassed, "...all the intellectual rights, or rights of the mind, and also all those rights of acting as an individual for his own comfort and happiness, which are not injurious to the natural rights of others" (Paine, 68).

Paine's Rights of Man was an eloquent yet blistering rebuttal to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France.Paine got right to the crux of the disagreement he had with Burke when he admonished him for his argument that governmental enactments of previous generations had the force and authority to bind citizens for all time.An example that Burke used was the English Parliament of 1688, which he praised as a model of the type of reform French citizens should emulate.Paine's answer was swift and cutting "Radical Enlightenment" reason."Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself, in all cases, as the ages and generations which preceded it.The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave, is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies" (41-42).Paine also took Burke to task for his narrow understanding of French socio-political and economic problems leading up to 1789.Unlike Burke, Paine understood that the French Revolution, unlike the others that took place in Europe, was not just a revolt against the king."Between the monarchy, the parliament, and the church, there was a rivalship of despotism, besides the feudal despotism operating locally, and the ministerial despotism operating everywhere" (48).Thus, what Paine witnessed, Alexis de Tocqueville and Georges Lefebvre observed, agreed with, and commented on, in their history's years later.The institutions that Burke defended in his Reflections, such as the nobility, Church, and monarchial rule, all became "fodder" for Paine's "grist mill" in his defense of France's new constitution.

Paine abhorred the institution of nobility and supported its dissolution for several reasons.
"Because the idea of hereditary legislation is as inconsistent...and absurd as an hereditary mathematician....Because it is continuing the uncivilized principle of governments founded in conquest, and the base idea of man having property over man, and governing him by personal right" (83).No friend to tradition, Paine took Burke to task for defending the notion of, "...hereditary rights, and hereditary succession, and that a Nation has not a right to form a Government for itself" (Paine, 116).Paine defended the French constitution's eradication of tithes to the Catholic Church and it "...hath abolished or renounced Toleration, and Intolerance also, hath established UNIVERSAL RIGHT OF CONSCIENCE" (85).Finally, Paine unleashed a most scathing attack against Burke's suggestion that France should reform its absolutist monarchy into a benign form of constitutional monarchy similar to what Britain enjoyed."All hereditary government is in its nature tyranny" (172)."It occasionally puts children over men, and the conceits of nonage over wisdom and experience.In short, we cannot conceive a more ridiculous figure of government, than hereditary succession" (173).

Thus, Paine's Radical Enlightenment polemic, which sold more than 200,000 copies throughout Europe, was his reasoned and articulate project towards developing a better world.Consequently, there is no doubt that Paine, whose Radical Enlightenment pen proved to be "mightier than the sword" of despotism both in the American and French Revolutions, understood the importance of the nurturing relationship that Enlightenment philosophes had on the French Revolution."But all those writings and many others had their weight; and by the different manner in which they treated the subject of government...by their moral maxims and systems of economy, readers of every class met with something to their taste" (Paine, 94).

Recommended reading for anyone interested in political philosophy, enlightenment history, and the French Revolution.

Yup, no "Age of Reason"
I was happy to find "Age of Reason" and "Common Sense" in a single volume but, although the very title says it has "Age of Reason" it does not.

Thomas Paine Collection
I purchased this book for "Age of Reason".The cover states it's in the book, but amazingly, it's not.

Thomas Paine Collection...
I bought this book as I wanted to read Paine's "Age of Reason" a stated on the cover, but this book does not have it regardless of what is on the cover.

Does not contain THE AGE OF REASON
I recently purchased this book.It does NOT contain THE AGE OF REASON, despite what it says on the cover, it contains THE CRISIS instead.Don't believe me? Look at the table of contents, I wish I had, but who knew CLASSICBOOKSAMERICA was so irresponsable.

The title lies.
I needed "Common Sense" and "The Age of Reason", and noted that this book had both of them. However, after purchasing this book, I realized that it did not have "The Age of Reason", but instead had a collection of letters called "The American Crisis". ... Read more

Product Description
Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was one of the most fascinating figures of the late 18th century. His public antagonist and personal friend John Adams believed that their times would come to be known as the "Age of Paine." He came to America in middle age and became a radical-democratic pamphleteer, effectively turning colonial rebellion into a national liberation movement. He later returned to Europe where he played a prominent role in both the French Revolution and the cause of English radicalism. Paine is best remembered for his books: the controversial The Rights of Man and his book on the American Revolution, Common Sense. Harvey J. Kaye, well-known for his studies on Paine and his period, traces the English revolutionary's life and details his political writings in accessible, highly readable narrative that also covers important events of early American history.

Oxford Portraits is a new series of biographies for young adults. Written by prominent writers and historians, each of these titles is designed to supplement the core texts of the middle and high school curriculum with intriguing, thoroughly informative and insightful accounts of the lives and work of the notable men and women who helped shape history. Each book is illustrated with numerous graphics, photographs, and documents. A unique feature is the inclusion of sidebars containing primary source material, mostly excerpts from the subject's writings. A chronology, further reading list, and index rounds out every volume. ... Read more

Great Fun
This book is just great fun. It rambles and stumbles deliciously from one topic to another, including some esoterica, and at times loses focus on Paine.Does not have to be read straight through.(I skipped ahead to find out what happened to Paine's bones.)Refreshingly free of political bias and spin.Pedants, specialists, and political wingnuts on the left probably won't care for it.Wingnuts on the right will likely be indifferent.

Wonderful flashes of illumination on the 1800s
This is just superb, a completely entertaining book with some depth behind it. My wife loved it, and occasionally read me passages as she read it. I loved it, and kept mentioning passages to her as I read it.

Paul Collins is a wonderful writer. I thought John McPhee might be the best writer of nonfiction I've ever read, but Paul Collins is a worthy rival... with quite a different voice and approach. The book seems to be impeccably researched. But it's not really a history, it's a sort of travel volume or collection of anecdotes, in which Collins tells about his quest to determine what became of Tom Paine's body after Paine's death. The book shifts back and forth between his own experiences, and the various characters (in all senses of the word) who were touched by the travels of Tom Paine's remains. Paul Collins is himself a character in his own book, and frequently breaks the fourth wall to talk directly to the reader. He has opinions and lets them show, but I think he does a careful and honest job of separating the facts from his reflections upon those facts (more so than, say, Tom Wolfe).

It has interesting flashes of illumination into the life of the 1800s, as Collins tries to get into the heads of the people he is writing about.

One of the most interesting parts to me was his comments on the role of phrenology in the 1800s. It is today regarded as such a quaint curiosity that I never fully realized the extent of its acceptance, and its connection with progressive thinking and social reform. It was, if you like, the psychoanalysis of its day. He points out something I'd half-noticed: the degree to which novelists of the period make a point of describing the shape of their characters' heads.

My high school is not far from New Rochelle and the next time I go to a reunion I am definitely going to make some time to visit the Tom Paine memorial.

Not just about Thomas Paine.....
To those reviewers who were disappointed because "this book was supposed to be about Thomas Paine," I would have to say that you missed the point.

This book is much more than just another bio of Thomas Paine.It's about his ideals, and the author brilliantly uses his bones to tell the story.He does a great job of weaving the story and connecting many of the brilliant minds who continued to fight for the principles espoused by Paine, and they did so long after he had already been villified by most Americans and British.

I loved this book, and I enjoyed reading about many of the people, such as Conway, who we rarely learn about.

If you want to read a biography of Thomas Paine, there are several available.If you want to read a book which makes you appreciate those people who have stood up for the ideals found in The Rights of Man and The Age of Reason, then read this book.But don't forget to read the writings of Paine himself.

How to teach history!
Moncure Conway might have been the most fascinatingcharacter ever created for a historical fiction, for this book is both about him as well as Tom Paine. In fact, the book is almost incidentally about Tom Paine when he was alive. The focus is on Tom Paine, dead.
The book is well written, often very funny, and would be my textbook of choice if I were teaching high school or college history.
All-in-all, it's a book that is hard to put down!

Boooooring
The first section of the book is about Paine's final years and his body and what happened to it. Interesting stuff. This is what the blurbs in Entertainment Weekly and elsewhere said.

But then the author seems to get way too into all the connections between so-and-so and seems to really forget that he was writing about Thomas Paine. So so-and-so met Walt Whitman, and they both knew H.D. Thoreau, and Thoreau knew so-and-so...then all of a sudden, fast forward to this religious pacifist and a nutty pseudo-doctor and...

By page 130 I began thumbing through page after page looking for a mention of Paine. There's tons on the popularity of the toilet in the late 1800s, and on phrenology and on women's rights (ok ok, so the Paine tie-in there is that some early feminists used "Common Sense" as a springboard for other progressive ideals, including feminism and abolitionism, etc.).

Honestly, the majority of the book fails, in my mind, to remain interesting in relation to Paine. Extensive research into esoteric pseudo-science and the invention of the water closet may be interesting, but when I pick up a book about the strange afterlife and times of Thomas Paine, I expect there to be a bit more of a connection to Thomas Paine.

We have it in our power to make the world over again
This was a required reading for a graduate humanities class.John Keane's biography succinctly showed that Tom Paine (1737-1809) was the consummate revolutionary and a daring adventurer.Not only was he an important figure in the American Revolution, but he also traveled to France in 1791 to give that revolution a push.Paine traveled from England, just in time to stoke the flames of the revolution with his pamphlet Common Sense, in January 1776.To call Common Sense a sensation in the colonies is actually a bit of an understatement.It was an unparallel sensation and monumental work of Enlightenment rhetoric that quickly fanned the flames of rebellion throughout the colonies.In four months, over 120,000 copies were printed in the colonies--over 500,000 copies by years end.No other pamphlet printed in seventeenth century America came close to its success.Most importantly, Common Sense served to get the colonial patriots to drop their fear of open rebellion, and also emboldened those delegates who favored declaring independence from Britain.The delegates now had the confidence that a large segment of the colonists would support rebellion.Similar to the Declaration of Independence, the philosophical ideas in Common Sense are primarily from the English philosopher, John Locke (1632-1704).The most moving quote from the pamphlet became quite prophetic, when one considers the impact it ultimately had on the delegates in the congress, the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, and on the world."We have it in our power to begin the world over again."

Product Description

,Thomas Paine's dream was theestablishment of a new nation governed by the people for thepeople. His passion was the total independence of America,and the declaration of it to the world. Paine's goal wasdemocracy.

By way of contrast, JohnAdams' scheme was just the opposite. Adams worked to buildan overriding national governing body, separate from thecommon people. His idea was governance by an elite rulingclass patterned after the British system. Because ThomasPaine wrote in opposition to Adams' intrigues, Adamsdetested Paine. Yet, later in his life, Adams would admitthat "History is to ascribe the American Revolution toThomas Paine."

It is the author's firmconviction that by reading The Real ThomasPaine, teachers of American History and anyone whois interested in learning about the formation of the UnitedStates and Thomas Paine's role in its establishment willderive a much better understanding of America's birth.
