About This Book
The author claims that Thomas Paine authored both the Letters of Junius and the Declaration of Independence and assembles textual, stylistic, and rhetorical evidence to support that attribution. The work provides a methodical review of Junius's letters, close stylistic comparisons, assessments of rhetorical technique and mental characteristics, and a separate analysis of the Declaration's language and construction. It also sketches Paine's life and traces literary continuities between his writings and the anonymous letters, while appendices and annotated notes offer supplemental comparisons, transcriptions, and commentary intended to substantiate the central claim.
