"As queen consort and dowager, Hedwig Eleonora (1636-1715) held a unique position
in Sweden for more than half a century. As the dominant collector and patron of art
and architecture in the realm, she left a strong mark on Swedish court culture. Her
dynastic network among the Northern European courts was extensive, and this helped
to make Sweden a major cultural center in Northern Europe in the later seventeenth
century. This book represents the first major scholarly publication on the full range
of Hedwig Eleonora's endeavours, from the financing of her court to her place within
a larger princely network, to her engagements with various cultural pursuits, to her
public image. As the contributors show, despite her high profile, political position,
and conspicuous patronage, Hedwig Eleonora experienced little of the animosity directed
at many other foreign queens and regents, such as the Medici in France and Henrietta
Maria in England. In this way, she provides a model for a different and more successful
way of negotiating the difficulties of joining a foreign court; the analysis of her
circumstances thus adds a substantial dimension to the study of early modern queenship.
Presenting much new scholarship, this volume highlights one extremely significant
early modern woman and her imprint on Northern European history, and fosters international
awareness of the importance of early modern Scandinavia for European cultural history."--Back
