Thomas Paine: Collected Writings
Almost 400 newly identified works
In the summer of 2026, Princeton University Press released a groundbreaking collection of Paine’s writings that revolutionizes Paine studies. This includes almost 400 newly discovered works previously unknown.
Thomas Paine: Collected Writings is the first major new edition of Paine’s works, bringing together his writings in six landmark volumes that dramatically revise our previous understanding of his activities as a writer and his importance as a democratic theorist in the age of revolutions.
