Krátky popis
A major new biography of Maria Theresa, the formidable Habsburg
Empress &,nbsp, Maria Theresa was the single most powerful
woman in eighteenth-century Europe. At the age of just twenty-three
she succeeded to the Habsburg domains only to find them contested
by almost every power in Europe. Over the next forty years, she
became a fierce leader and opponent, as well as a devoted wife and
mother to sixteen children.&,nbsp, In this engrossing
biography, Richard Bassett traces Maria Theresa’s life and complex
legacy. Drawing on hitherto unpublished sources, Bassett reveals
her keen sense of moderation and tolerance, innovative ideas on
free trade and finance, and studied reluctance to resort to
policies of territorial expansion. Yet Maria Theresa’s
modernisation policies were not entirely progressive.Antisemitism
and an enduring suspicion of Protestantism greatly affected the
lives of her subjects. &,nbsp, This is a gripping study of one
of the world’s most influential leaders, revealing how Maria
Theresa confounded gendered expectations and left a lasting mark on
Europe.
