(Thomas) History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 06 Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Friedrich_II._of_Prussia,_Called_Frederick_the_Great Produced by D.R. Thompson and David Widger "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 06" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book delves into the life and reign of Frederick the Great of Prussia, focusing on specific political and personal crises during the years 1727 to 1730, including the tumultuous double-marriage project between Prussia and England, as well as the challenges faced by the Crown-Prince amidst rising tensions in European politics. The opening of the book describes the intricacies of the Crown-Prince's life as he navigates the complicated marriage negotiations that are crucial to Prussian alliances. We learn that tensions are escalating in Europe, particularly with Spain's military actions concerning Gibraltar, as Carlyle sets the stage for debates about war and marriage. The Crown-Prince is depicted as a complex figure caught in the expectations of his royal duties, battling against his father's stern demeanor while seeking solace in books and music. The narrative hints at the growing conflict between paternal expectations and the young prince’s personal aspirations, adding layers to the historical themes explored within the text.
