Autorenporträt
Stanley John Weyman (1855-1928) was an English novelist sometimes referred to as the 'Prince of Romance'. Born in Ludlow, Shropshire, Weyman was educated at Shrewsbury School and Christ Church, Oxford, before embarking on a career as a solicitor. He found his true calling in writing, however, and turned to literature, publishing his first novel 'House of the Wolf' in 1890. Weyman specialized in historical romances set in the 16th and 17th centuries, rich in adventure and intrigue, a genre that was immensely popular in his time. His writing is characterized by a meticulous attention to period detail and a flair for dramatic storytelling that resonates with elements of Alexandre Dumas's works. 'Ovington's Bank' (1922), stands out as one of his later works and marked a departure from his traditional historical romance genre. The novel delves into the world of 18th-century finance and delivers a nuanced exploration of English society, reflecting changes in his literary style. Weyman's influence extended into the early 20th century, as his works inspired numerous adaptations for stage and screen, his storytelling often praised for its ability to capture the human spirit amidst historical backdrops. Despite his death nearly a century ago, Stanley John Weyman's legacy as a master of romantic historical fiction endures.
