Carlyle, T. (Thomas)
History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 13
Produced by D.R. Thompson and David Widger
"History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 13" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume delves into the intricacies of the First Silesian War, which takes place against the backdrop of greater European conflicts unfolding during the early 18th century. The narrative mainly focuses on the significant challenges faced by King Frederick II of Prussia as he navigates diplomatic complexities, military strategies, and the pressing realities of war that surround him. The opening of the volume sets up the stage for the tumultuous period of May 1741 to July 1742, highlighting the political machinations and personal struggles of the British King George II, who wrestles with the pressures of the Pragmatic Sanction and the unfolding chaos instigated by Frederick's ambitions. Carlyle effectively illustrates the juxtaposition of Frederick's courageous resolve with the indecisiveness and bureaucratic entanglements of other European powers, showcasing a series of significant diplomatic negotiations. It introduces key figures, including diplomats like Excellency Hyndford and significant military leaders, and depicts the broader implications of their decisions in the relentless pursuit for power and legitimacy amid the backdrop of escalating conflict.
