    摘要、提要註: This volume offers a fresh approach to the study of diplomacy and related activity in the early modern period. It�seeks to widen the conventional entry point into the study of the figures associated with continental and global diplomatic exchange, which has traditionally been the province of political and military history. The interdisciplinary theme of the collection is reflected in its generous and fertile scope of intellectual enquiry, texts, objects and methodology. The essays mark a growing interest in the area with contributions from social, religious, literary and intellectual historians, as well as scholars interested in gender and material culture. Moving away from the study of the lone diplomat or agent about his official business, this collection�explores the in-between people and places along the journey of the legate, his belongings, household and his or her correspondence. Examining these spaces and activities brings a richer and more textured view of the role of the ambassador abroad, alerting the modern reader to the meaningful texts and contexts surrounding the official or ceremonial mission.
