The Culture of DiplomacyBritain in Europe, C.17501830\nAuthor(s): Jennifer Mori\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Manchester University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Manchester University Press\nISBN-13: 9780719082726, 978-0719082726\nSynopsis\nThis is not a traditional international relations text that deals with war, trade or power politics. Instead, this book offers an authoritative analysis of the social, cultural and intellectual aspects of diplomatic life in the age of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. It authoritatively illustrates several modes of Britains engagement with Europe, whether political, artistic, scientific, literary or cultural. \n\nMori consults an impressively wide range of sources for this study including the private and official papers of 50 men and women in the British diplomatic service. Attention is given to topics rarely covered in diplomatic history such as the work and experiences of women and issues of national, regional and European identity\.
