The most important goal of this project is to create an accessible scholarly digital edition of Morland's vital, yet often overlooked text that centrally highlights important elements of Cromwellian religio-political statecraft aspirations in Europe and at home.

I argue that by removing the impediments of shelf-bound and geographically separated volumes and by quantifying elements of their creation, the network and nature of recusant literature is made more immediate by illustrating trends and anomalies at the same level of access and visibility and thereby potentially opening new avenues of research... more
