Not sure if this is the appropriate subreddit for this request. I apologize in advance. As the title says. I was assigned a two page essay on a critical article about Thomas Paine's "Common sense". I have been googling for most of the morning but cannot seem to find a decent critical article that is credible, or the author talking about the text. Any help would be appreciated.
Here are a few articles that might be appropriate:
The Commonalities of Common Sense
Robert A. Ferguson
The William and Mary Quarterly
Vol. 57, No. 3 (Jul., 2000), pp. 465-504
Paine and Prejudice: Rhetorical Leadership through Perceptual Framing in "Common Sense"
David C. Hoffman
Rhetoric and Public Affairs
Vol. 9, No. 3 (Fall 2006), pp. 373-410
