Конрад Фердинанд Мейер (1825–1898) – швейцарский поэт и писатель, один из наиболее выдающихся мастеров исторической новеллы. Он поздно пришел в литературу. Дебютировал сборником «Двадцать баллад» (1864), а профессионально начал заниматься писательской деятельностью в сорок пять лет. В своих произведениях Мейер изображал исторические эпохи, насыщенные острой и напряженной борьбой. Достоинство его новелл заключается в их большой психологической правде, в верности исторического колорита.
