Summary "Frederick the Great and His Court" by L. Mühlbach is a historical romance written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds around the illustrious yet tumultuous court of Frederick William I of Prussia, exploring the complex relationships and political intrigue among the royal family and their courtiers. Central figures include Queen Sophia Dorothea, who yearns for independence from her despotic husband, the king, and their son Frederick, the Prince Royal, who represents a contrasting ideal of sensitivity and artistry. At the start of the novel, the scene is set within the opulent palace, where preparations are underway for a grand ball hosted by Queen Sophia Dorothea, an event she welcomes to escape the oppressive grip of her husband, who is ill but determined to maintain an image of authority. The opening illustrates the strained dynamic in the royal household, portraying the king's bitterness toward his son and the queen's longing for moments of joy and autonomy. The interactions among the queen and her daughters reveal familial bonds as well as the weight of royal expectations, emphasizing the tension between societal obligation and personal desires. Through lively dialogue and vivid descriptions, Mühlbach introduces a vibrant court full of intrigue, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of love, power, and rebellion against the stifling rules of a patriarchal regime.
