dc.description.abstractIn the early modern period, ambassadors emerged as metaphorical bridges between two worlds in more than one sense. They were the channel through which sovereigns, which hardly ever met in person, communicated and negotiated with one another. As observers in a foreign court, they also connected sameness and difference, in the sense that they were required to establish alternative strategic approaches to diversity while simultaneously relating to their familiar references of ‘self’ and ‘sameness’. Since ambassadors were often productive writers, some with a clear predisposition for detailed descriptions, diplomatic correspondence encapsulated invaluable information sent to their home courts, much of which included the ambassadors’ own representations of ‘Otherness’. Therefore, these diplomatic written accounts stand as a multi-faceted metaphorical bridge between two symbolic worlds: past and present, manuscript and digital, writer and reader, sameness and difference. It is the purpose of this article to analyse the representations of the Tudor Queen Elizabeth embedded in the written accounts of the ambassadors, including those of the Portuguese ambassadors at the Tudor court, which are rarely mentioned.pt_PT
