He challenges the view that Paine created a new literary style for a new audience of artisans and labourers, arguing instead that this style was part of a broader revolution in rhetoric, and discusses the interconnections between Paine's English and American careers. Wilson shows that the tension between the ideal and the real is central to understanding Cobbett. He analyzes Cobbett's American experiences, and examines the role of Paine's writings and the United States in Cobbett's subsequent career as a radical in England. The epilogue returns to the differences and similarities in Paine's and Cobbett's careers, examines their strategies for change, and discusses their ambiguous legacies to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.\" - publisher.  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haaswurth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39297915224130,"sku":"ABE6228","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0191\/6066\/2082\/products\/9780773510135-us-300.jpg?v=1618352903"},{"product_id":"burton-warren-the-district-school-as-it-was-scenery-showing-and-other-writings","title":"Burton, Warren.
