Summary "The Youth of the Great Elector" by L. Mühlbach is a historical romance likely written in the early 20th century. The novel centers around George William, the Elector of Brandenburg, as he navigates the turbulent political landscape of 17th-century Germany, grappling with challenges to his authority from both internal factions and external pressures. The opening portion introduces the Elector, depicted as a man under considerable stress, as he grapples with a contentious letter from the lords of Cleves who desire to appoint his son as their stadtholder. His irritation is palpable as he prepares to confront the deputies to assert his position against their demands. The narrative dives into the political intrigues surrounding his rule, showcasing his interactions with both the nobility and citizens, illustrating the complexities of governance during a time of conflict. The Elector's conflicted emotions about his responsibilities and the welfare of his territories are evident, setting the stage for a rich exploration of power, duty, and familial bonds as the story progresses.
