The six Stuart successions (1603, 1625, 1660, 1685, 1688-9, 1702) punctuate this turbulent period of British history. In addition, there were two accessions to the role of Lord Protector (those of Oliver and Richard Cromwell). Each succession generated an outpouring of publications in a wide range of forms and genres, including speeches, diary-entries, news reports, letters and sermons. Above all, successions were marked in poems, by some of the greatest writers of the age. By gathering together some of the very best Stuart succession writing, \u003ci\u003eLiterature of the Stuart Successions\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eoffers fresh perspectives upon the history and culture of the period. It includes fifty texts (or extracts), selected to demonstrate the breadth and significance of succession writing, as well as introductory and explanatory material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: 1603\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eI.1 \u003ci\u003eA Proclamation Declaring the Undoubted Right of our Sovereign Lord King James, to the Crown of the Realms of England, France and Ireland\u003c\/i\u003e (1603)\u003cbr\u003eI.2 Richard Niccols, ‘A True Subject’s Sorrow, for the Loss of his Late Sovereign’ (1603)\u003cbr\u003eI.3 Michael Drayton, \u003ci\u003eTo the Majesty of King James\u003c\/i\u003e (1603)\u003cbr\u003eI.4 Sir John Davies, ‘The King's Welcome’ and ‘To the Queen at the Same Time’ (1603)\u003cbr\u003eI.5 \u003ci\u003eA New Song to the Great Comfort and Rejoicing of all True English Hearts, at our Most Gracious King James his Proclamation, upon the 24 of March last past in the City of London\u003c\/i\u003e (1603)  \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Thomas Dekker, from\u003ci\u003e The Whole Magnificent Entertainment: Given to King James, Queen Anne his Wife, and Henry Frederick the Prince, Upon the Day of His Majesty’s Triumphant Passage (from the Tower) through his Honourable Citie (and Chamber) of London\u003c\/i\u003e (1604)\u003cbr\u003eI.7 Ben Jonson, ‘A Panegyre on the Happy Entrance of James our Sovereign to his First High Session of Parliament’ (1604)\u003cbr\u003eI.8 King James, from \u003ci\u003eThe Kings Majesty’s Speech, as it was Delivered by him in the Upper House of the Parliament \u003c\/i\u003e(1604)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: 1625\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eII.1 John Rous, from his diary (27 March 1625)\u003cbr\u003eII.2 James Shirley, ‘Upon the Death of King James’ (1646)\u003cbr\u003eII.3 John Donne, from \u003ci\u003eThe First Sermon Preached to King Charles\u003c\/i\u003e (1625)\u003cbr\u003eII.4 From \u003ci\u003eA True Discourse of all the Royal Passages, Triumphs and Ceremonies, Observed at the Contract and Marriage of the High and Mighty Charles, King of Great Britain, and the Most Excellentest of Ladies, the Lady Henrietta Marie of Bourbon\u003c\/i\u003e (1625)\u003cbr\u003eII.5 George Eglisham, from \u003ci\u003eThe Forerunner of Revenge.
