A scholarly examination of Carmen Sylva, the literary pseudonym of Queen Elisabeth of Wied (1843–1916), the first queen consort of Romania. The volume follows her poetry, prose and translations, written mostly in German yet shaped by Romanian folklore, and their reception across Germany, France, Britain, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Japan and the United States.
It also covers her cultural diplomacy and philanthropy, her collaborations with women writers, her patronage of the arts and her influence on Peleș Castle — a royal figure who became a writer, cultural mediator and patron.
Part 1 · Carmen Sylva’s Works: A Cross-Cultural and Global Perspective
Part 2 · Crossroads of Literary Innovation and Artistic Collaboration
Part 3 · Exploring Narrative Techniques and Language in the Works of Carmen Sylva
