Common Sense and Other Writings, by Thomas Paine, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editi*** at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: New introducti*** commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussi*** of imitati***, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questi*** to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectati*** Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editi*** are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specificati***; some include illustrati*** of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a c***tellation of influences—biographical, historical, and li***ry—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Though he did not emigrate from England to the American colonies until 1774, just a few months before the Revolutionary War began, Thomas Paine had an enormous impact on that war and the new nation that emerged from it. Common Sense, the instantly popular pamphlet he published in January 1776, argued that the goal of the struggle against the British should be not simply tax reform, as many were calling for, but complete independence. His rousing, radical voice was balanced by the equally independence-minded but more measured tones of Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence later that year.

In late***orks, such as The Rights of Man, The Age of Reason, and other selecti*** included in this volume, Paine proved himself a visionary moralist centuries ahead of his time. He believed that every human has the natural right to life’s necessities and that government’s role should be to provide for those in dire need. An impassioned opponent of all forms of slavery, he understood that no one in poverty is truly free, a lesson still to be learned by many of our leaders today. Joyce Appleby, Professor Emerita at the University of California, Los Angeles, has followed the trajectory of American nation-building in her books Capitalism and a New Social Order: The Republican Vision of the 1790s, Inheriting the Revolution: The First Generation of Americans, Thomas Jefferson, and A Restless Past: History and the American Public.
