By Michael Mendle
This is often the 1st complete research in fifty years of the writer of the main celebrated political tract of the early years of the English Civil conflict, Observations upon a few of His Majesties overdue solutions and Expresses. Professor Mendle situates every one of Parker's major tracts in its polemical, highbrow, and political context. He additionally perspectives Parker's literary paintings within the mild of his occupation as privado, or intimate consultant, to major figures of the parliamentary management. Parker emerges as a fierce opponent of clerical pretension, a strikingly brutal critic of the typical legislations brain, and a number one proponent of parliamentary absolutism.
