Autorenporträt
Louise M hlbach, the pen name of Clara Mundt (1814-1873), was a prolific German author renowned for her historical novels. Born on January 2, 1814, in Neubrandenburg, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany, she married Theodore Mundt, a literary critic and author. This marriage significantly influenced her literary career, providing her with access to intellectual circles and literary discussions of the time. M hlbach is best known for her novels that vividly depict 18th-century and 19th-century European history. She adeptly blended historical facts with fictionalized personal drama, making her works both engaging and accessible. Some of her most notable novels include Joseph II and His Court, Frederick the Great and His Court, Marie Antoinette and Her Son, and Old Fritz and the New Era. These novels often focused on significant historical figures and events, bringing them to life through vivid characterizations and intricate plots. M hlbach s novels are characterized by rich historical detail, though she often took creative liberties with facts for dramatic effect.
