Frederick the Great: King of Prussia by Tim Blanning (English) Paperback Book

Description: Frederick the Great by Tim Blanning Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A dazzling historical biography in the tradition of Andrew Roberts Napoleon the Great or Simon Sebag Montefiores PotemkinFrederick the Great, King of Prussia, dominated the 18th century in the same way that Napoleon dominated the start of the 19th - a force of nature, a caustic, ruthless, brilliant military commander, a monarch of exceptional energy and talent, and a knowledgeable patron of artists, architects and writers, most famously Voltaire. From early in his reign he was already a legendary figure - fascinating even to those who hated him.Tim Blannings brilliant biography recreates a remarkable era, a world which would be swept away shortly after Fredericks death by the French Revolution. Equally at home on the battlefield or in the music room at Fredericks extraordinary miniature palace of Sanssouci, Blanning draws on a lifetimes obsession with the 18th century to create a work that is in many ways the summation of all that he has learned in his own rich and various career. Fredericks spectre has hung over Germany ever since- an inspiration, a threat, an impossible ideal - Blanning at last allows us to understand him in his own time. Author Biography Tim Blanning is the author of a number of major works on eighteenth century Europe, including The Pursuit of Glory - Europe 1648-1815, The Culture of Power and the Power of Culture and Joseph II. He is Emeritus Professor of Modern European History at the University of Cambridge, a Fellow of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge and a Fellow of the British Academy. His latest book, Frederick the Great, won the British Academy Medal 2016.
