19. This subject is rich in materials, but most of what has been studied comes from
    the 1640 s and 1650 s, not the 1660 s. A reappraisal is in A. Lloyd Moote, “Conversion and
    Backsliding in Seventeenth Century England: From Puritan Millenarianism to the
    Great Plague,” Princeton University Davis Center paper, Sept. 2000. For a published
    overview, see Michael McKeon,Politics and Poetry in Restoration England: The Case of
    Dryden’s Annus Mirabilis(Cambridge, Mass., 1975 ).
