About this event
This time the Retiree Book Club is reading Tom Paine’s America: The Rise and Fall of Transatlantic Radicalism in the Early Republic (Jeffersonian America) by Seth Cotlar. This book is a is a bottom-up history of 1790s American political discourse. It explores how a transatlantic network of printers, editors, and everyday readers stoked a vibrant, egalitarian democratic movement, only to see it defeated by the end of the decade.
