A good read with my morning coffee, even earlier than usual as Sindy, who is staying with me decided 5:30 was an appropriate hour to wake me. I knew of Luise from reading Christopher Clark’s Iron Kingdom, one of the first books I read after reading Blood and Iron. I wonder if German discomfort with celebrating the birth of nation and Prussia’s poor PR is part of the reason she is lost in the mists of time. Once you have stepped from the promotional merry-go-round and taken a break may I suggest you dive back into the C18th and C19th and write that biography?
I think I see a biography coming from an excellent German historian who proves on these pages that she's an excellent writer.
I too vote for Louise as the subject of your next book!
Interesting. I learn so much which was never common knowledge or, afaik, in any of my educational curricula. Thank you 🤩
