This article, substantially based on archival sources, aims to rehabilitate diplomatic history as a mode of enquiry & education using the insights & reflections of Sir Herbert Butterfield, one of the leading historians of the twentieth century. Integrated with developments in theory, methodology & new areas of inquiry over the past generation, his thoughts, it will be argued, can inform the tenets of a revitalized diplomatic history -- one that fulfills the promise of its founding scholars & one that reclaims its place at the forefront of historical scholarship: a corrective to some of our present academic priorities.
