      abstract = {This book explores the secret relations between theatre  and diplomacy from the Tudors to the Treaty of Westphalia.  It offers an original insight into the art of diplomacy in  the 1580-1655 period through the prism of literature,  theatre and material history. Contributors investigate  English, Italian and German plays of Renaissance  theoretical texts on diplomacy, lifting the veil on the  intimate relations between ambassadors and the artistic  world and on theatre as an unexpected instrument of 'soft  power'. The volume offers new approaches to understanding  Early Modern diplomacy, which was a source of inspiration  for Renaissance drama for Shakespeare and his European  contemporaries, and contributed to fashion the aesthetic  and the political ideas and practice of the Renaissance. .},
