James Harris is in the final year of his doctorate in History at Lincoln College, Oxford. Within the University of Oxford, he has taught undergraduates on literature and politics in early modern England, and lectured on the English Civil War and seventeenth-century print culture. His current research project explores the intersections of politics, religion, and identity in Cornwall and south-west Wales in the later Stuart period.

Oliver Ford is an independent tutor, writer and researcher. He previously studied at the University of Oxford – firstly at New College where he read for a BA (Hons) in Ancient & Modern History and a Masters in History, before moving on to St Cross College, from where he will shortly receive his doctorate in seventeenth century Spanish History. He has worked for several years as a private tutor, helping school students prepare for GCSEs and A-levels in London and Oxford, and has also taught undergraduates in History within Oxford University itself. He is currently working on articles for publication based on chapters from his doctoral thesis, and is planning new long-term book projects.
