Veronica Buckley

Veronica Buckley was born in New Zealand. Alongside her first studies in languages and philosophy at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, she trained as a classical ‘cellist, and worked for some time as an orchestral musician before taking up history scholarships at London and Oxford. While in England, Veronica wrote a series of children’s stories for performance with orchestra, before moving to Paris to devote herself to full-time writing. Veronica’s historical biographies, Christina, Queen of Sweden and Madame de Maintenon: The Secret Wife of Louis XIV, are complemented by art and travel writing as well as film, stage, and book translations. She is also a regular arts reviewer for Vienna’s Metropole magazine. Her latest book, New Insights, is an original encounter with the great art collections of Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum. Like Twilight of the Romanovs, an evocative photographic history of the late Russian Empire, it was produced together with Veronica’s husband, historian and writer Philipp Blom. Veronica’s work has been translated into German, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Swedish and Dutch. She lives in Vienna.

Samenvatting

A portrait of the seventeenth-century monarch discusses her pivotal role in ending the Thirty Years War, her 1654 abdication from the throne, her estrangements from such former supporters as the pope and the king of Spain, and the reckless ambition and character aspersions that would erupt in an international incident. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.
