The Visit of the Royal Physician

Per Olov Enquist

Translated by Tiina Nunnally first published 2002 The Harvill Press, 2002 hardcover 408 pages

When Christian VII, young, mad and highly impressionable, assumes the Danish throne, many seek to control the new king, capitalizing on his mental frailty to advance their own interests. Two men stand out: Struensee, the court physician and Guldberg, the religious fanatic.
