Published anonymously, this book argues that Thomas Paine wrote both the Letters of Junius, the savage political attacks that shook London in 1769-72, and the Declaration of Independence. Moody sets passages from Paine’s Crisis and other writings beside Junius and disputes the claims made for Sir Philip Francis.
A curiosity of literary detective work whose theory has won no support from historians, read best as a document of the Junius debate. Download the free EPUB.
