From the front flap of this 284 page book: "She was the darling of the Austrian stage, a blond 'bird of paradise' with 'laughing blue eyes and a little girl's face'. He was one of the nineteenth century's most influential rulers, the last great Hapsburg emperor, who, years later, would plunge the world into war. She rose from a broken marriage and financial ruin to become the pampered confidante of Europe's rich and powerful. He grew hopelessly obsessed with this guileless girl from the Vienna woods, and lavished his affection - and his wealth - on her. 'The Emperor and the Actress' is a factual account of the relationship between Emperor Franz Josef and Katharina Schratt, a leading lady described by one drama critics as 'the average man's ideal, bot seductress and housewife, earthy and sophisticated'. This is a riveting tale of forbidden love and political intrigue, of madness and murder, of a woman's conquest of her monarch - and of the terrible sacrifices both were forced to endure. In following Katharina's progress through the theatres, palaces, and watering spots of of Europe, author Joan Haslip provides an engrossing glimpse of daily life off and on stage and at court. She resurrects the forgotten theatrical costumes and luminaries of the era. And she describes - in rich detail - the world of princely opulence and sumptuous luxury enjoyed by a privileged few. [This book] is far more than just the story of Katharina Schratt - the toast of the fin-de-siecle society, the mistress 'enslaved in golden chains', a friend to Strauss, Mahler, and Brahms. It is a study of power - the power of beauty, of seduction, of tradition, of wealth, of art, of madness, and of change. And it is a haunting portrait of vanished European monarchy, the last gasp of the Hapsburgs, the excesses of absolute rule."

In 1949 Bavaria was not only the largest and best known but also the poorest, most agricultural, and most industrially backward region of Germany. It was further its most politically conservative region. The largest political party in Bavaria was the Christian Social Union (CSU), an extremely conservative, even reactionary, regional party. In the ensuing twenty years, the leaders of the CSU's small liberal wing (in particular Franz Josef Strauss, long-time party chair and the most colorful and polarizing politician in postwar Germany) broke with the anti-industrial traditions of Bavarian Catholic politics and made themselves useful to industry. With tactical brilliance the politicians pursued their individual political ambitions, rather than a coherent modernization strategy, which, by 1969, had turned Bavaria into a prosperous Land, the center of Germany's new aerospace, defense, and energy industries, with a disproportionate share of its research institutes.

A painter, architect, designer, and cofounder of the Munich Secession, Franz von Stuck (1863-1928) was an influential teacher of artists studying at the Munich Academy including Josef Albers, Vassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee.
