Weyman, Stanley John: The Abbess of Vlaye. v1. 18 Jan 2015
Stanley John Weyman (1855 - 1928) aka Jefferson Carter
Stanley John Weyman was an English novelist sometimes referred to as the "Prince of Romance". He was born at Ludlow, Shropshire, as the son of a solicitor. He was educated at Shrewsbury School, and at Christ Church, Oxford. He obtained his degree in modern history in 1877, and was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1881. Weyman had been practicing as a barrister for eight years until, in 1889, he wrote his first novel entitled The House of the Wolf (1890). This was followed by the novels which were to make his reputation: among them are historical romances set amidst the turmoil of 16th and 17th century France. His most famous works include: A Gentleman of France (1893), Under the Red Robe (1894), The Castle Inn (1898) and The Long Night (1903). Abbess, a tale set in the south of France in 1589, when Henry IV had achieved most of his aims and Vlaye was the last remaining center of peasant revolt, is both of those.
