About the author
Robert William Chambers (May 26, 1865 – December 16, 1933) was an American author, best known for his work in the fiction genre. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he was an artist before he turned to writing, having studied at the Art Students League of New York and the Académie Julian and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Chambers' literary career was prolific and diverse, encompassing romance, historical fiction, and horror. He gained widespread recognition with his collection of weird and supernatural stories, 'The King in Yellow' (1895), which has had a profound impact on the horror genre and has influenced a number of later writers, including H.P. Lovecraft. Chambers' style often blended romanticism with the macabre, a juxtaposition that resonated with readers at the turn of the 20th century. Despite this early success in the weird fiction genre, he later shifted towards writing romantic fiction, which proved commercially successful. 'The Flaming Jewel' is one such work that showcases his command over this genre, emphasizing adventurous and melodramatic narratives that captivated his audience. Chambers' contributions to early American literature, particularly in the realm of supernatural and romantic fiction, have established him as a notable figure within the literary circles of his time and have led to a lasting legacy within the pantheon of genre fiction authors.
