Description

Sissi's World provides a comprehensive transdisciplinary examination of Habsburg Empress Elisabeth of Austria, one of Europe's most captivating yet misunderstood historical figures. This scholarly work explores how the Bavarian duchess born in 1837 evolved into a cultural icon through multiple lenses: literature, art, film, and broader media representation. The book investigates the myths and legends surrounding the longest-serving Austrian empress and queen of Hungary, whose reign and tragic death in 1898 have inspired countless retellings and romantic interpretations. By analysing the cultural foundations that sustain the enduring Sissi legends, this volume explains why Elisabeth continues to fascinate audiences across generations. Part of the New Directions in German Studies series, it combines rigorous academic analysis with accessible exploration of how historical fact became legendary narrative, making it essential reading for scholars of Habsburg history, European cultural studies, and the construction of historical memory.
