The Queen's Doctor is a historical non-fiction book written by Robert Neumann. The book tells the fascinating story of Johann Friedrich Struensee, a German physician who rose to power as the personal physician of King Christian VII of Denmark and became a de facto ruler of the country. Struensee's radical reforms and liberal ideas, including the abolition of torture, freedom of the press and the introduction of vaccination, made him a controversial figure in 18th century Europe. However, his affair with the queen, Caroline Matilda, ultimately led to his downfall and execution. Neumann's book provides a detailed account of Struensee's life, his political ambitions, and his tragic fate. It also sheds light on the cultural and political context of Denmark during the Age of Enlightenment. The Queen's Doctor is a gripping and well-researched biography that offers a unique perspective on one of the most intriguing figures of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
