- This book is the culmination of almost a decade of doctoral and postdoctoral research on early modern diplomacy. Funded first via an AHRC studentship then via fellowships at the IHR, British School at Rome and EUI, it draws on a wide range of primary material from multiple Italian state archives, including hitherto unexplored sources. Diplomacy in Renaissance Rome presents the first book-length study of its subject for 60 years and argues for the significance of Rome both as a diplomatic centre and in the broader formation of the modern European diplomatic system.

- Additional information
- Chapters 4 and 6 of this book incorporate material originally published in my 2010 Renaissance Studies article ‘Furnished with gentlemen: the ambassador’s house in sixteenth-century Italy’. Further material in Chapter 6 was published in the proceedings of the conference Early Modern Rome 1341–1667 (May 13–15, 2010). Material from other chapters informed the setting for a narrative trade history book focused on the diplomacy of Henry VIII’s first divorce, Our Man in Rome (Bodley Head, 2012). The substantive overarching argument about the development and practice of diplomacy in Rome, however, is made here for the first time.
