PhD Project 

‘To Excite Them to Like Actions’: A Relational Biography of Caroline of Ansbach & the Women of her World

The project's goal is to create a relational biography of Caroline of Ansbach — that is, to tell Caroline’s story and untangle the enigma of Caroline’s character through the women whom she knew and by whom she was observed. Few of Caroline’s own words have endured to today, so this thesis seeks to fill in the gaps by piecing together the accounts of those women around her.
