Charles Norris Williamson (1859-1920) was a British writer, often collaborating with his wife, Alice Muriel Williamson, under the joint byline 'C.N. Williamson'. His literary career spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during which the couple became well-known for their engaging adventure novels and travelogues. 'The Guests of Hercules' is one of the numerous works they co-authored, which embodies their characteristic blend of romance and mystery wrapped within a travel narrative canvas. The Williamsons are noted for their skillful storytelling and vivid descriptions that capture the essence of the Edwardian era, manifesting a balance between picturesque settings and the dynamic energy of the early automotive age. Their works frequently delve into tales of the aristocracy entangled in intrigue and personal quests set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernizing world. While 'The Guests of Hercules' is a singular example of their collaborative efforts, it is representative of the Williamsons' broader oeuvre, which often showcased their mutual interest in transport technology and the thrill of exploration. Despite the decline in their popularity following their deaths, the Williamsons' contributions to the genre of romantic adventure novels hold a place in the annals of early 20th-century English literature.
