Description
Tom Paine and William Cobbett were at the heart of the revolutionary changes which swept over the North Atlantic world during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Both men came from the ranks of the "common people" in England, both found their identity as political writers in North America, and both eventually became central figures in the English popular radical movement. David Wilson places the parallel careers of Paine and Cobbett in their Anglo-American context, not only discussing the relationship between their ideas, but examining how their early experiences affected their success in America and the way in which their perceptions of America were woven into their political writings in England.
