Stanley John Weyman (7 August 1855 – 10 April 1928) was an English writer of historical romance. His most popular works were
written in 1890–1895 and set in late 16th and early 17th-century France.
This small collection primarily consists of correspondence addressed to Stanley John Weyman related to his historical novel
Under the Red Robe. The bulk of the letters are from Edward Everett Rose, 1862-1939, an American playwright, who adapted the Weyman’s novel
for stage at the Haymarket Theater in 1896. Weyman also received letters from Cyril Maude, a manager, and actors from the
production.
Other material related to
Under the Red Robe includes memorandum books, photographs, and theater programs.
