Thompson and David Widger "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 04" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written during the mid-19th century. The book focuses on the early life of Frederick the Great, examining his childhood and the dual educational influences he experienced as he grew up in a uniquely structured royal household. Carlyle delves into the complexities of Frederick's upbringing and the formative relationships that shaped his character during this critical period. The opening of the volume introduces Frederick's childhood as a blend of German and French cultural influences, shaped primarily by his interactions with family and the diverse array of caregivers surrounding him. While there are references to other histories and accounts of his upbringing, Carlyle emphasizes the uniqueness of Frederick's formative years, particularly through the lens of his sister Wilhelmina's memoirs, which serve as a crucial resource for understanding their eccentric family dynamics. As the narrative unfolds, Carlyle also highlights key figures in Frederick's life, both familial and pedagogical, outlining the conflicting elements that would influence his development into a powerful monarch.
