Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and reign of Queen Christina of Sweden, an enigmatic figure who abdicated her throne to pursue her intellectual passions. The author draws on a wide range of historical sources to provide a nuanced portrait of this extraordinary woman, exploring her motivations, her relationships, and the profound impact she had on 17th-century Europe. Through its analysis of Christina's patronage of the arts and sciences, her conversion to Catholicism, and her tumultuous relationship with the Vatican, the book sheds light on the complex religious, political, and intellectual currents of the time. Ultimately, it offers a fascinating study of a brilliant and unconventional monarch who defied expectations and left an enduring legacy as a symbol of both female empowerment and the pursuit of knowledge.
