The Stuart Successions database providing a searchable catalogue of the writing printed in response to moments of royal and protectoral succession over the long 17th century, is now available to browse at: http://stuarts.exeter.ac.uk/database.
The database is the outcome of the AHRC-funded Stuart Successions project undertaken in collaboration by the universities of Exeter and Oxford. Containing records for over 3000 examples of succession literature across several genres, including panegyric and elegy, sermon and pamphlet, address and proclamation, the database will help students of both literature and history to uncover new ways of understanding the relationship between literature, print, and politics during one of most tumultuous centuries in British history.
