Stanley John Weyman (1855–1928) was an English novelist sometimes referred to as the 'Prince of Romance'. Born in Ludlow, Shropshire, Weyman pursued a degree in Modern History at Christ Church, Oxford. Initially, he followed his father's footsteps in becoming a solicitor but found his true calling in writing. He published his first novel at the age of 35, drawing upon his love for history to influence his work. His writings contributed significantly to the popular genre of romantic historical fiction during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Weyman's novels were known for their rousing adventures, set against impeccably researched historical backdrops, often focusing on tumultuous periods such as the French Renaissance and the Wars of Religion. 'The King's Stratagem, and Other Stories' is a testament to Weyman's narrative prowess, showcasing his gift for weaving intrigue, romance, and historical detail into engrossing tales. His notability in literature is reflected in his often compared works with Alexandre Dumas - a testament to the vibrancy and enduring appeal of his prose. Despite the eventual decline in popularity of historical romances, Weyman's contribution to the genre remains significant, and his novels continue to be appreciated by enthusiasts of classic literature and historical narratives.
