In the seventeenth century, riots, rebellions, and revolts flared
around Europe. Concerned about their internal stability, many
states responded by closely observing the violent upheavals that
plagued their neighbours. Rebellion and Diplomacy in Early Modern
Europe investigates how in this struggle for intelligence about
internal discord, diplomats emerged as key information brokers and
interpreters of Europe's tumultuous political landscape. The
contributions in this volume uncover how diplomatic actors
interacted with rulers, opposition leaders, informers, media
entrepreneurs, and different audiences in their efforts to
understand, communicate, and draw lessons from the insurrections in
their time. Rebellion and Diplomacy also examines how diplomats
actively tried to shape the course of internal conflicts by
managing the spread news, supporting political factions at their
court of residence, and even instigating violence. Covering
different European regions from the Iberian Peninsula to
Scandinavia and from the British Isles to the Carpathian Basin, the
book will appeal to all students and researchers interested in
early modern diplomacy, politics, and news cultures.
