Om forfatteren
Thomas Paine (1737–1809) stands out as one of the most influential writers and political activists of the late 18th century. Born in Thetford, England, Paine moved to the American colonies in 1774, where he quickly aligned himself with revolutionary causes. He gained immediate fame with his pamphlet 'Common Sense' (1776), which argued for American independence with remarkable clarity and fervor. Paine's gift for clear, persuasive, and accessible prose helped galvanize the American public and laid the groundwork for the Declaration of Independence. Following the American Revolution, Paine returned to England and later moved to France, where he became deeply involved in the French Revolution. It was during this period that Paine wrote 'The Rights of Man' (1791-1792), a defense of the French Revolution against its critics, and a seminal statement of human rights principles. In 'The Rights of Man,' Paine advocates for democratic government, universal suffrage, and welfare for the poor and elderly, among other progressive ideas. His literary style is characterized by its directness, rational appeal, and use of common language to engage a broad audience. Paine's writings continued to influence political thought long after his death, informing liberal and radical movements alike. His works remain crucial reading for anyone interested in democratic theory and the history of political thought.
