About this product

Product Information

Moments of royal succession crystallize perceptions of monarchy and debates about political structures. In the early modern period, these moments also generated huge quantities of writing, including works by some of the great names of the time. These works are mostly in the form of panegyric, but stretch across a range of other genres, including pamphlets, works of counsel, and satires. This volume considers the great era of succession literature: the years of the Stuart dynasty (1603 and 1714), in which six monarchs were crowned and one Protector was installed. This interdisciplinary volume proposes that attending to these moments of transition, with a breadth and depth of investigation never before attempted, throws new light on a singularly turbulent and vibrant century of political and literary history. It engages in fresh ways with some of the key debates about changes in political values and culture across the Stuart era.
