Description
With fine British irony, Tim Blanning captures the genius of Prussia's most famous king, his vitality and complex personality as well as the monster Frederick with his fatal narrow-mindedness and bigotries. The ruler's homosexuality is addressed here for the first time in a major biography, without any pretentiousness. Equally familiar with Frederick's battles as with the aesthetic programme of Sanssouci Palace, Blanning's biography draws on a lifelong preoccupation with the 18th century and the Ancien Régime, which would come to an end with the French Revolution just a few years after Frederick's death.
