Über den Autor
Stanley John Weyman (1855-1928) was a notable English novelist best known for his historical romances set in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Born in Ludlow, Shropshire, Weyman initially pursued a career in law, but his passion for literature and history soon saw him transition into writing. His works were characterized by their adventure-filled narratives, vigorous action, and a vivid sense of history, earning him the title of the ‚Prince of Romance‘ among some critics. Weyman published ‚A Little Wizard‘ in 1897, a tale that, although lesser-known than some of his other works, showcased his propensity for blending the supernatural with historical contexts to create engaging and suspenseful storylines. His most famous novel, ‚A Gentleman of France‘ (1893), being an exemplary reflection of his craft, brought Weyman his greatest success and remains a classic in the genre. Throughout his career, Weyman penned over thirty novels, with a writing style often compared to Alexandre Dumas due to its energetic pace and swashbuckling themes. Despite fading popularity posthumously, Weyman’s contributions to historical fiction secured him a place as an accomplished author in the literary world of his time.
