NEW DIRECTIONS IN THOMAS PAINE STUDIES KARTONIE...

Named moral father of the Internet by Wired Magazine and quoted by President Barack Obama in
his historic first inaugural address  Thomas Paine is an American revolutionary figure who
continues to intrigue and infuriate. New Directions in Thomas Paine Studies offers an
interdisciplinary perspective on Paine's distinctive influence on a number of
eighteenth-century discourses  from politics and literature  to human rights and religion. This
volume aims to expand the field of study on one of the most important figures not simply in the
American  but the global revolutionary period of the late eighteenth-century. Drawing on an
international group of scholars who hope to deconstruct the nationalistic boundaries that have
hampered Paine studies for decades  the essays offer not only new interpretations of Paine's
major works  but new methodologies that reflect the enduring presence of Paine in American
cultural discourse.
