Autorenporträt
Charles Norris Williamson (1859–1920) and his wife Alice Muriel Williamson (1869–1933) were British novelists who collaborated on a number of literary works and are often collectively referred to as 'C. N. Williamson.' Among their numerous novels, 'It Happened in Egypt' stands as a notable work, intertwining elements of adventure and romance against the backdrop of early 20th-century Egypt. The Williamsons had a flair for writing engaging stories that captured the essence of their time, combining vivid descriptions with plot-driven narratives. Their literary style often involved escapades in exotic locations, with a blend of humor and melodrama that appealed to the tastes of contemporary readers. Jointly, C. N. Williamson books, characterized by their attention to detail and lively character portrayals, garnered them popularity across the English-speaking world. While 'It Happened in Egypt' showcases their skill in crafting absorbing tales with historical underpinnings, their bibliography includes several other best-sellers of the early 1900s, such as 'The Lightning Conductor,' and 'The Rose of the World.' C. N. Williamson's collaborative works remain an intriguing area of study for those interested in the trends and tropes of popular literature in the Edwardian era.
