Annabel Patterson here turns her well-known concern with political
history in early modern England into an engine for investigating
our own era and a much wider terrain. The focus of this book is,
broadly, nationalism and internationalism today, approached not
theoretically but through the lens of fiction. Novels are uniquely
capable of dealing with abstract problems by embodying them in the
experience of persons, thereby rendering them more "real."
Patterson takes twelve novels from (almost) all over the world:
India, Africa, Turkey, Crete, the Balkans, Palestine, Afghanistan,
South America, and Mexico, novels which illustrate the dire effects
of some of the following: imperialism, partition, annexation,
ethnic and religious strife, boundaries redrawn by aggression, the
virus of dictatorships, the vulnerability of small countries, and
the meddling of the Great Powers. All are highly instructive, and
excellent reads.
