Transatlantic Radicals and the Early American Republic, Hardcover by Durey, Michael, ISBN 0700608230, ISBN-13 9780700608232, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US A history of early American radicalism centering on the core influences of Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson. Durey (history, Murdoch U.) follows the careers of Paine and other dissenters from Britain, Ireland, and Scotland, who adopted Jefferson as their political champion, and, as political activists during the 1790s, influenced the course of egalitarian, antifederalist perspectives in their vision of a participatory democracy that was divided by slavery. Durey deftly outlines the parameters of transatlantic politics, shedding new light on the roots of the American emigre, radical experience in religion, politics, and economics.
