- W2040880053 abstract "HE was and is a baffling and inaccessible personality, this Frederick II, King of Prussia, known as Frederick the Great. Despite the many volumes of his own works and, still more, the hundreds of his letters, personal as well as official, which have come down to us, he remains a puzzle. The task of understanding him without distortion has not been made easier by the fact that his biographers and commentators have mostly tended to or other of two extremes. Either, like Carlyle and also most German historians, they have almost worshipped him; or, like Werner Hegemann, they have been unable to find him any good at all. For Carlyle he was the Last of the Kings .1 For Preuss he was in the noblest sense of the word, as no other prince has been, Ruler, the Great, the Only .2 Jean Paul even compares the way which brilliance was shed upon Germany by the genius of a Frederick to that which, a picture by Correggio, light radiates from the Holy Infant upon those standing around!3 On the other hand, Werner Hegemann sees him as one of the most obnoxious figures the history of the world .4 And Macaulay's essay could hardly be mistaken for a set of compliments. Frederick was a very lonely figure and became increasingly so as his life wore on and his significance grew. For many reasons, which it would be out of place to discuss here, his loneliness was deeper than merely that which must at all times surround a throne. Perhaps it is due as much to this fact as to anything that Frederick the man is so elusive." @default.
