Thompson and David Widger "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 09" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume focuses on the last stage of Crown-Prince Friedrich's apprenticeship, detailing his life in Ruppin from 1732 to 1736. The text explores themes of duty, familial obligation, and the political intricacies surrounding Friedrich's impending marriage, particularly to Princess Elizabeth Christina of Brunswick-Bevern, amidst various political negotiations and personal considerations. At the start of this volume, the narrative sets the stage for Crown-Prince Friedrich's internal and external conflicts as he navigates the expectations placed upon him by his father and the court. Amid discussions about suitable marriages, the young prince reflects on his options, expressing dissatisfaction with the candidates, especially the insipid Elizabeth Christina. The opening portion introduces the complex dynamics of his family relationships, particularly with his father, and highlights Friedrich's aspirations, struggles, and the realities of his social standing. There are hints of his rebellious spirit and desires for autonomy, juxtaposed with the pressing reality of political alliances and the burden of duty that will shape his future.
