책소개

Thomas Carlyle’s “History of Friedrich II of Prussia” is not a six-volume but a vast twenty-one-volume biography, and Volume IV continues the narrative amid the War of the Austrian Succession as Frederick the Great consolidates his hold on Silesia through military and diplomatic struggle. Based on extensive archival research and visits to German battlefields, Carlyle vividly reconstructs the tension of campaigns and the intricate web of European power politics. The volume highlights alternating moments of triumph and peril, emphasizing Frederick’s resolve, strategic clarity, and growing sense of royal responsibility. Through energetic prose, sharp characterization, and moral reflection, Carlyle portrays both the shaping of a monarch and the reshaping of the European balance of power.

저자(글) Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle was a leading historian, essayist, and social critic of the Victorian era who examined the spiritual crisis brought about by rapid industrialization and emphasized the necessity of moral integrity and heroic leadership, advancing his theory of “hero-worship” which interpreted history as shaped by great individuals, and through major works such as The French Revolution and On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History he sharply criticized materialism and mechanical modernity while urging the restoration of spiritual values, leaving a powerful and prophetic imprint on nineteenth-century intellectual life.
