Thomas Paine
Season 2Episode 430 minNov 26, 2004
Surely Britain’s greatest unknown international revolutionary,
best-selling author and hobbyist bridge builder, Norfolk born
corset-maker’s son Thomas Paine wrote the Rights of Man and helped
inspire the American War of Independence. Thereafter he became the
Secretary for Foreign Affairs in a government that hated his country
of birth. He then went to France and escaped the guillotine by
accident, after having failed to sell a bridge he built over a field
in London.
One of Mark Steel’s great unsung radical heroes, this comedy lecture
series shines a light on a little known (in Britain) hero on two
continents.
