| Summary | "Andreas Hofer: An Historical Novel" by Louisa Mühlbach is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the historical figure Andreas Hofer, set against the backdrop of Austria's political turbulence and the looming threat of Napoleonic France. The story explores themes of loyalty, national pride, and the struggles faced by Austria as it nears a declaration of war, highlighting character dynamics among the imperial family and military leaders. The opening of the novel introduces the year 1809, a time of anticipation for war in Austria, led by Emperor Francis. Tension brews as Archduke John expresses his frustrations over the emperor's hesitations, fearing missed opportunities for Austria's military ambitions. The reader is introduced to various characters including the devoted John, the weary Emperor Francis, and the anxious Archduke Charles, setting the stage for a narrative drenched in the emotional and political stakes of an impending conflict. As the archdukes discuss strategies and sentiments regarding the war, whispers of the Tyrolese's wishes for liberation hint at Hofer's eventual involvement, establishing key plot points while focusing on the personal dilemmas faced by the characters amidst the historical events.
