Elisabeth Of Roumania: A Study by Blanche Roosevelt is a biographical portrait of Elisabeth of Wied, who became Elisabeth, Queen of Roumania (Carmen Sylva). The work traces her noble lineage, early education and precocious scholarship, and her mastery of languages and poetry. It follows her marriage to Prince Charles of Hohenzollern (later King Carol I) and their life in Roumania, including the couple’s cultural and political milieu. The volume then surveys Elisabeth’s life as a poet and translator under the pseudonym Carmen Sylva, her literary circles, and her public work as a patron of music, education, and philanthropy. Roosevelt situates Elisabeth’s creative output within a broader European cultural scene of the late 19th century, highlighting her translations, writings, and advocacy for national education and home industries. Through anecdotes, prefaces, and biographical passages, the book presents a measured, admiring account of a remarkable sovereign, mother, and artist.
