Autorenporträt

Empress Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, was one of the most prominent rulers of Russia, reigning from 1762 until her death in 1796. Born on May 2, 1729, in Stettin, Prussia, as Sophia Augusta Frederica, she ascended to power following the ousting of her husband, Peter III. Catherine was a prolific patron of the arts, literature, and education, which earned her the reputation of an enlightened monarch. Her literary contribution, 'Memoirs of the Empress Catherine II,' provides an intimate glimpse into her life, policies, and the transformation of Russian society. These memoirs are not only valuable for understanding the history of her reign but also reveal Catherine's insights and the self-fashioning of her image as a wise and benevolent ruler. As an author, Catherine employed a scholarly style, interspersed with personal anecdotes and reflections, thereby creating a work that is both a historical document and a portrayal of her inner life and political acumen. Catherine's reign was marked by significant modernization and expansion of the Russian Empire, as well as the patronage of the Enlightenment ideals. Her memoirs, which serve as an extension of her literary and cultural legacy, continue to fascinate historians and literary critics for their candid approach and historical relevance.
