Maurice Henry Hewlett (1861–1923) was an English writer, known for his historical fiction, which reflected his thorough and diverse knowledge of European history. Hewlett's career blended legal training with literature, after abandoning the former for the arts. His literary style often leaned towards the romantic and bucolic, with an eloquent and somewhat archaic tone, serving as a distinctive feature of his narrative voice. His works, like 'The Village Wife's Lament,' explore the intricacies of human emotions and social dynamics within the frames of historical and rural settings, a nod to the pastoral genre. Hewlett's contributions to literature earned him a dedicated readership during his lifetime, and his works have been considered a touchstone for those interested in romantic historical prose. His novels, while no longer mainstream, continue to be of interest to scholars studying late Victorian and Edwardian literature. Hewlett's other notable works include 'The Forest Lovers' and 'The Queen's Quair,' which further solidify his reputation as a competent historical novelist. He was not without critical reception, as some modernist contemporaries saw his style as ornate and out of fashion. Nevertheless, Hewlett's body of work represents an essential link in the chain of English historical romance literature.
