Books by Annabel Patterson

Charles II's first and most important parliament sat for eighteen years without a general election, earning itself the sobriquet "Long". This book is the study of this Restoration Parliament. It recovers a crucial period of parliamentary history, that helps to explain the Glorious Revolution, and opens a discussion about historiographical method.

Annabel Patterson tackles the hottest topic in literary studies today - the 'Great Books Debate' and the question of teaching the canon of English literature. Her superbly formulated moderate stance will be a welcome attribute to the debate.
