In \u003ci\u003eThe Refugee-Diplomat\u003c\/i\u003e, Diego Pirillo offers an alternative history of early modern diplomacy, centered not on states and their official representatives but around the figure of \"the refugee-diplomat\" and, more specifically, Italian religious dissidents who forged ties with English and northern European Protestants in the hope of inspiring an Italian Reformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePirillo reconsiders how diplomacy worked, not only within but also outside of formal state channels, through underground networks of individuals who were able to move across confessional and linguistic borders, often adapting their own identities to the changing political conditions they encountered. Through a trove of diplomatic and mercantile letters, inquisitorial records, literary texts, marginalia, and visual material, \u003ci\u003eThe Refugee-Diplomat \u003c\/i\u003erecovers the agency of religious refugees in international affairs, revealing their profound impact on the emergence of early modern diplomatic culture and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diego Pirillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501715313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501715310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2019","brand":"Diego Pirillo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985271652607,"sku":"9781501715310","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18140bbb-1ade-46f1-96d0-447719272184.jpg?v=1683276574","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-refugee-diplomat-diego-pirillo-9781501715310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
