Robert William Chambers was born on 26th May 1865 in Brooklyn. His best-known work is ‘The King in Yellow’ (1895), a highly vivid collection of Art Nouveau short stories.

A peça O Rei de Amarelo é mencionada em quatro dos contos, mas pouco se conhece de seu conteúdo. É certo apenas que o texto, em dois atos, leva o ouvinte à loucura, condenando sua alma à perdição. Um risco ao qual alguns aceitam se submeter, dado o caráter único da obra, um misto irresistível de beleza e decadência.
