For the handbook he takes a different perspective on #emdiplomacy by looking into literary discourses on #diplomacy and #emdiplomats. How was #diplomacy discussed in #earlymodern #literature? How were diplomats depicted? (3/6)

Looking into these questions he focusses on 4 different examples: #Shakespeare’s Henry V (1598/99), Inca Garcilaso de la Vega’s Historia General del Peru (1612/13), Andreas Gryphius’ Catharina von Georgien (1657) and Jean Racine’s Andromache (1667). (4/6)

Despite their differences, in all text the theological foundation of #emdiplomacy is striking. Moreover, #emdiplomacy is depicted as always at the risk of failure with war and conflict as the dooming consequence.
Depicting #emdiplomacy on stage or in other literary forms clearly demonstrates the importance of speech (acts). For an #emdiplomat it is not only important what is said, but how it is said. For the story these speech acts also play a central role for the development of the story. (5/6)
