Stanley Weyman, a kdysi slavný autor historických románů, je dnes téměř zapomenutým autorem pozdní 19. století. Jeho díla, která kdysi okouzlila tisíce čtenářů, se dnes většinou obracejí k zapomnění. Weyman mistrně kombinoval dobrodružnou romanci s historickými událostmi 16. a 17. století, zejména ve Francii. Jeho styl se vyznačuje vytříbeným jazykem a schopností oživit historické postavy s velkou dávkou empatie. Jako by oživoval "hroby našich hrdinů", dokázal Weyman čtenáře vtáhnout do minulosti.
