Die hässliche Herzogin ist ein fesselnder historischer Roman von Lion Feuchtwanger, der das Leben der Margarete Maultasch, der letzten Herzogin von Tirol aus dem Geschlecht der Meinhardiner, meisterhaft nachzeichnet. Im Zentrum der Erzählung steht der dramatische Kontrast zwischen Margaretes außergewöhnlicher politischer Klugheit und ihrer legendären körperlichen Hässlichkeit. Feuchtwanger entwirft ein lebendiges Panorama des 14. Jahrhunderts, in dem Margarete versucht, ihr Land gegen die Begehrlichkeiten der großen europäischen Dynastien - der Habsburger, Luxemburger und Wittelsbacher - zu verteidigen.
Der Roman beleuchtet die harten Realitäten mittelalterlicher Machtpolitik und die persönliche Tragik einer Frau, die aufgrund ihres Äußeren von der Gesellschaft verachtet wird, während sie gleichzeitig durch ihren scharfen Verstand und ihre Weitsicht beeindruckt. Das Werk thematisiert zeitlose Fragen nach Schönheit, Macht und dem Preis des politischen Erfolgs. Feuchtwangers präzise Sprache und seine psychologische Tiefe machen diesen Roman zu einem bedeutenden Klassiker der historischen Literatur und zu einem packenden Porträt einer tiefgrÃ1/4ndigen, oft missverstandenen Herrscherin.
