Thomas Paine (1737-1809)
Pamphleteer, revolutionary, radical intellectual, and deist, Paine is shown here, in the town of his birth, with a copy of his most celebrated work, 'Rights of Man', published in 1791. This became the 'bible' of British radicalism.
He was accredited by Thomas Alva Edison as one of the true fathers of the American Revolution: "He was the equal of Washington in making American liberty possible. Where Washington performed Paine devised and wrote."
