| Summary: | This study discloses the intellectual context and the personal pretext of Thomas Paine's assault on religion in The Age of Reason. It uncovers adumbrations of Paine's correlation of religion and politics in his earliest work, the ways in which his controversy with Edmund Burke served as a transitional stage to his writings on Scripture, and the biblical criticism available to him as the main features of the contextual background of his struggle to assert authority Although the "spectacle" of Paine's literary performance derives from intellectual conviction, it also arises from personal conflict - particularly as expressed in his lifelong opposition to various established patriarchal figures. Paine's achievement of authoritative voice, however, remains precarious and paradoxical in nature His authority is always grounded in the very authority he deposes, with the result that his voice is little more than a theatrical performance that unwittingly re-enacts the rhetorical maneuvers of deposed father figures |
