I co-edit an edited volume about early modern Nordic peace. Regardless the great contributions of the authors in terms of content, I am always surprised how difgicult it is for most academics to apply style sheets. This is especially true for those who are nitpicking when it comes to the work of others and especially students.
Style sheets are not voluntary or for cherry-picking.

I don’t attend conferences just to give talks, but above all to meet people. So please feel free to approach me – during the panel, over coffee – whenever you like, let’s meet! I’ll be on tour for the next two weeks: Göttingen, Hagen, Brighton, Essen #earlymodern #history #games #geschichte #histodons @histodons #fediLZ

They argue that #clientelism had a key function in #earlymodern #diplomacy, as the #emdiplomats needed confidants and stable relations both at their home institutions and the place of #diplomatic action in order to fulfil their tasks successfully. Diplomats could be patrons as well as clients. (6/8)

In their article Stuber and Tischer discuss the importance of #patronage and patron-client relations for #earlymodern #diplomacy. After some general observations they discuss three different case studies: the perpetual Imperial diet, the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth and the Swiss confederacy. Thereby they not only draw attention to geographical regions that often do not feature as prominently in studies on #emdiplomacy and client-patron relations, but they also take different forms of #emdiplomacy into account. (5/8)

Tischer holds the chair of #modern history at the university of #Würzburg and has a great expertise on especially #earlymodern French diplomacy and the #westphalianpeace congress. (4/8)

Stuber is an expert in #earlymodern source editions & Eastern European history. Currently, she is part of the team editing the publications and writings of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
She also published a monography on the Russian #diplomat Johann Christoph von Urbrich that is available #openaccess (in German)! (3/8)
Know your target and what is behind it! "Thomas Egglesfield of Sutton-on-Derwent, Yorkshire, gentleman, must have rued his decision to shoot at a white mark on the side of a house there when his arrow punctured the wall and struck Elizabeth Smyth who was inside the house, killing her instantly."

This meme is brought to you from #earlymodern #bookhistory and the #SmilingDeath himself.
A peepbox that opens and shows a "Pantoffel-Courier" (literally a messenger in slippers) holding a sealed letter in his hand. This playful printed artefact is from late eighteenth-century Germany, and an example of the #earlymodern popurality of peepboxes - and letters - across Europe.
For friends of #bookhistory: this peepbox consists of two prints, a woodcut and an etching.
Almost forgot to post last weekend's free newsletter! - an op-ed, a festival, and a curious painting by Lucas Cranch the Elder, from 1528, now in the @nationalgalleriesscot in #Edinburgh.

As part of my spring book tour for HUMANS: A MONSTROUS HISTORY I spoke with Karin Wulf, Director of the John Carter Brown Library, about the book. Catch up with the video of the virtual event here:

He argues that research has to pay more attention to the spatial dimension of diplomatic ceremonial in the sense how it affected the design of courtly spaces.
Moreover, he demands not to analyse the court in isolation but asks in how far did protocols within palace spaces extend to public spaces? (5/6)
@histodons @historikerinnen @earlymodern
Our author Toby Osborne pays double duty. You already read about his article on the court as a diplomatic sphere, but he also wrote the article on the ceremonial – two topics that are closely intertwined. (2/6)

#emdiplomacy is full of social interactions going wrong. Historians usually analyse them as misunderstandings.
Perhaps a "sociology of awkwardness" could offer new insights und perspectives for #diplomatichistory
