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.

“New Directions in Thomas Paine Studies is a collection of essays that invites conversations across lines of geography and methodology. … the book as a whole succeeds in bringing together scholarship that would never otherwise come together before the public eye. … New Directions in Thomas Paine Studies demonstrates that scholars continue to produce new and valuable information about this cosmopolitan revolutionary and his legacy in many countries.” (Kirsten Fischer, Cercles, cercles.com, October, 2017)
