("Titania Shall Not Go Where People Walk…" - Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria and her Escapes
Zapotilová, Tereza ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Hlavačka, Milan (referee)
The subject of these works deals with the personal characteristics of the second to last Austrian Empress Elizabeth (1837 - 1898), the wife of Emperor Franz Josef I. The main focus of these works are the problematics of her aversion and removal from state duties as dictated for her position. Elisabeth of Bavaria had practically been running away from public responsibility for most of her life, both truly and mentally. These works concentrate on the individual forms of escapes that she had orchestrated. My platform is dedicated to Elizabeth's ambivalent relationship to people, her passion for sport and care for her own appearance, but also travel or personal release into the world of literature. In conclusion, the myth of her persona is described, which began to emerge during the Empress's life, but developed more after she was murdered, respectively in the second half of the last century. Key Words Empress Elisabeth, Emperor Franz Josef I, Habsburg monarchy, Habsburgs (Habsburg- Lothringian dynasty), Wittelsbach
