"Tim Blanning, a master of combining the fields of political, economic, social, and
intellectual history, is just the writer to bring us both Frederick's military triumphs--he
consolidated a kingdom of scattered territories into one formidable nation--as well
as his cultural and political accomplishments. From his long relationship with Voltaire
to his musical talent to his patronage of the decorative and fine arts to the reinvigoration
of German theater, Frederick infused Prussian culture with the ideas of the Enlightenment
and--where it suited him--applied them to his own authoritarian rule. In the influences
he took from the past and the ideas he borrowed from the Enlightenment, Frederick
was uniquely poised to rule over the total cultural and political transformation of
Prussia"--Provided by publisher
