Autorenporträt
Stanley John Weyman (1855–1928) was an English novelist sometimes referred to as the 'Prince of Romance'. Born in Ludlow, Shropshire, England, Weyman originally pursued a career in law after his education at Shrewsbury School and Christ Church, Oxford. Despite his legal background, his true passion lay in writing, leading him to publish his first novel at the age of 35. Weyman's works are characterized by their vivid historical settings, often focusing on periods of upheaval and transformation such as the French Renaissance and the Thirty Years' War. He meticulously researched historical periods, which is evident in 'The Long Night' (1897), a novel that places readers in the heart of 16th-century France amidst religious conflict and personal drama. Weyman was a master of incorporating historical detail into compelling narrative arcs, a practice that earned him comparisons to Alexandre Dumas. While his novels have been categorized as historical romances, their engaging plots, and rich character development transcend simple genre classification. Weyman enjoyed considerable popularity in his lifetime, with a writing career that spanned over three decades and produced a multitude of novels and short stories that continue to be appreciated by aficionados of historical fiction.
