This chapter details the success of Ernst Kantorowicz's biography of emperor Frederick II, <italic>Kaiser Friedrich der Zweite</italic> , which was published at the end of March 1927 with an initial run of 2,600 copies. Several qualities mentioned in the reviews account for the book's attractiveness for large numbers of readers. Not least was its “brilliant” style. Kantorowicz was a forceful writer, taken to employing high-flown rhetoric, alliteration, and sometimes archaic diction for dramatic effect. The book featured memorable portraits, brightly colored scenes, literary allusions. References to classical Latin literature and mythology also served for flavor. Half a century after its publication the work was excerpted in a French literary magazine for its literary qualities.
