Event information

Henry Wotton arrived in Venice in 1604 as England’s ambassador. Charged with restoring relations with Venice, he drew criticism for his breaches of protocol. The man King James called his “honest dissembler” was a maverick who fashioned diplomacy in ways that still inform international relations today.

Carol Chillington Rutter is Emerita Professor of Shakespeare and Performance Studies at the University of Warwick.
