A detailed examination of the relationship between the discourses
and practices of authority and diplomacy in the late medieval and
early modern periods, Authority and Diplomacy from Dante to
Shakespeare interrogates the persistent duality of the roles of
author and ambassador. The volume approaches its subject from a
literary-historical perspective, drawing upon late medieval and
early modern ideas and discourses of diplomacy and authority, and
examining how they are manifested within different forms of
writing: drama, poetry, diplomatic correspondence, peace treaties,
and household accounts. Contributors focus on major literary
figures from different cultures, including Dante, Petrarch, and
Tasso from Italy; and from England, Chaucer, Wyatt, Sidney,
Spenser, and Shakespeare. In addition, the book moves between and
across literary-historical periods, tracing the development of
concepts and discourses of authority and diplomacy from the late
medieval to the early modern period. Taken together, these essays
forge a broader argument for the centrality of diplomacy and
diplomatic concepts in the literature and culture of late medieval
and early modern England, and for the importance of diplomacy in
current studies of English literature before 1603.
