I am an Associate Professor with the Department of English at Western University in London, Ontario. Areas of specialization include 17th- and 18th-century English literature, history of the book, bibliography, and digital humanities.

It was therefore not enough merely to praise: there was an even greater necessity to justify this transformation. Speaking of what he terms the ‘Panegyric Task’ of England's writers during the first decade of the reign of the newly restored king, Nicholas Jose comments that royalist writers ‘had to justify a political movement they supported and validate in imaginative celebration a world they longed to see “restored.” '
