Book excerpt: In this first biography in English for fifty years, Derek McKay avoids the limitation of seeing Frederick William primarily as precursor of the 'Enlightened' Frederick the Great. Instead, he roots him firmly in his own time, a dynastic, protestant ruler like many another in Germany, but gifted with the toughness and opportunism to overcome the hostility of his local nobilities and of the surrounding great powers.

Download or read book George II written by Andrew C. Thompson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a long and eventful reign, Britain's George II is a largely forgotten monarch, his achievements overlooked and his abilities misunderstood. This landmark biography uncovers extensive new evidence in British and German archives, making possible the most complete and accurate assessment of this thirty-three-year reign. Andrew C. Thompson paints a richly detailed portrait of the many-faceted monarch in his public as well as his private life. Born in Hanover in 1683, George Augustus first came to London in 1714 as the new Prince of Wales. He assumed the throne in 1727, held it until his death in 1760, and has the distinction of being Britain's last foreign-born king and the last king to lead an army in battle. With George's story at its heart, the book reconstructs his thoughts and actions through a careful reading of the letters and papers of those around him. Thompson explores the previously underappreciated roles George played in the political processes of Britain, especially in foreign policy, and also charts the intricacies of the king's complicated relationships and reassesses the lasting impact of his frequent return trips to Hanover. George II emerges from these pages as an independent and cosmopolitan figure of undeniable historical fascination.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Youth of the Great Elector: Translated From the German of Ferdinand Schmidt The story of Frederick William, "The Great Elector," as he is known in history, begins with his birth and closes with his accession to power upon the death of his father. It is the story of his youth only, but in the youth we find all the attributes which made him so great as an Elector and as a man.

Book Synopsis The Great Elector's Table by : MOLLY. TAYLOR-POLESKEY
Download or read book The Great Elector's Table written by MOLLY. TAYLOR-POLESKEY and published by . This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What food production, presentation, and consumption reveals about the exercise of power in early modern Germany In politics, as with food, presentation is everything. At the court of Elector Friedrich Wilhelm in Brandenburg-Prussia, the two combined in a way that illuminates the social and cultural dynamics of seventeenth-century German life. In this remarkable book, the first of its kind, Molly Taylor-Poleskey offers an innovative critical approach to understanding how a particular dynasty and an unexceptional German state rose to their eminent position on the Central European stage following the devastation of the Thirty Years' War. Food, she shows, functioned both as a tool of self-aggrandizement for rulers and as a means of coercion and leverage in power negotiations. From bakers to botanists, court servants up and down the social ladder each had a role to play in the political life of this court. Moving beyond dusty bureaucratic narratives, this colorful and inviting book offers readers a new way of appreciating how culture, politics, the natural environment, and science intertwined in early modern German statecraft.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of the Great Elector: An Historical Romance The cathedral bells were ringing and cannon thundering from the low ramparts of the fortress of Berlin. These festive sounds announced to the gaping, listening crowd, who thronged the space between the cathedral and castle, that the solemn ceremony in the cathedral was over, that the Princess Charlotte Louise, eldest sister of Elector Frederick William, had just been married to Duke Jacob of Kurland, and that the priest had pronounced a blessing upon the pair. The people, however, did not add their benediction, they had no loving congratulations for the newly married couple. The court had been too long absent from Berlin, and during the five years of the present Elector's administration, he had himself only once visited Berlin for a short time, and his family not at all. Not until now, in the middle of the year 1645, had the Electoral family returned to Berlin, and the Elector announced to the magistrates and citizens of his " loyal resident city" that he expected to take up his abode at Berlin for a long time, perhaps for good. With high-sounding words had the magistrates and citizens replied to this Electoral message, but at the bottom of their hearts they felt but little pleasure at the news. The common people of Berlin had received the tidings with perfect indifference. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: 'Of the "Great Powers" that dominated Europe from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, Prussia is the only one to have vanished ... Iron Kingdom is not just good: it is everything a history book ought to be ... The nemesis of Prussia has cast such a long shadow that German historians have tiptoed around the subject. Thus it was left to an Englishman to write what is surely the best history of Prussia in any language' Sunday Telegraph
