Excerpt from The Life of the Emperor Francis Joseph One need not wonder, and one must not complain. The path to candour was blocked by the obligations, in the one case of hospitality, and, in the other, of loyalty; but there is no reason why the historian who is not under such obligations should not criticise more freely. His object is neither depreciaton nor attery, but truth - as much of the truth as is attain able at the given moment; and he must therefore resist the common tendency of the biographers of contemporary rulers to credit their subjects, not only with their own particular virtues, but with all other people's virtues as well. The only result, in moral portraiture, of attributing virtues with too heavy a hand is to produce a picture in which the wood cannot be seen for the trees.

Excerpt from The Real Francis Joseph: The Private Life of the Emperor of Austria The information which will be found in this book about the romantic adventures - now farcical, sometimes comic, often tragic - oi the Emperor francis-joseph, the Empress Elisabeth, and the Habsburg family, is for the most part unpublished up to now, and unknown, or very little known. It was collected and was communicated to me by a person in Austria particularly well informed about the Court of Vienna. I should have preferred that this person's name appeared on the cover of the book beside my own. That, however, has been strictly forbidden. I can only take the Opportunity here of expressing publicly my in debtedness to my anonymous collaborator.

Excerpt from The Emperor Francis Joseph and His Times The great and powerful State whose citizens we once were has ceased to exist. With it vanished the venerable House which had reigned over it for six and a half centuries. Memories alone are left to us. They rise from the grave like those of our dead, and first among them the memory of him who from his post of supreme authority gave the vanished epoch its particular character for two generations - Francis Joseph I., Emperor of Austria and Apostolic King of Hungary. Now is the time, among the unceasing difficulties and the endless trials of our daily life, that he seems to draw nearer to us, perhaps because Death, which reveals all things, is lifting the veil from him too, or because he comes before us as one of the most tragic figures of the old Austria.

Excerpt from Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary The collapse of the austro-hungarian Empire is perhaps the most fateful and irrevocable result of the Great War. Not quite a decade has passed since the tragicomedy of Versailles, and Germany is a great power once more; so is Russia; the epochal rivalries have shifted ground, but not abated in intensity, while their potential dangers have probably increased. But the Empire of the Habsburgs seems to have vanished for ever. The dismemberment of austria-hungary in the sacred name of national self-determination has been hailed as a boon. In the sense that it was inevitable, it is a boon; for in politics the obstruction of the inevitable is one of the greatest of evils: its wages are war and revolution. This book is, in one of its aspects, an attempt to re interpret, in the terms of the life and character of a single individual, strategically placed in a position of unique power, the inevitability of what was perhaps the greatest political catastrophe of modern times: the downfall of the ancient Empire of Habsburg, last heir of _charlemagne.

The Court in Vienna under Emperor Francis Joseph was not only Europe's most illustrious and refined, it was also a huge economic enterprise, serving as both home and workplace for just under 2,000 people. The author reveals multitudinous facets of Emperor Francis Joseph's court and displays them in highly entertaining fashion, the court truly comes alive again. She takes the reader through a typical day in the life of the emperor, from his early morning toilette to the evening ceremonies; she tells tales of glittering ceremonies, receptions and audiences; she provides insights into the private and the family life of the emperor.
