Hawkins/6th Sept./95", 4¼x2½ card. Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, or better
known as Anthony Hope (1863-1933) was an English novelist and playwright,
author of his world famous novels The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its
sequel Rupert of Hentzau (1898). Set in the fictional country of
Ruitania, these minor English classics helped spawn the genre known as
Ruritanian romance, which include works by Georges Remi (The Adventures of
Tintin) and Frances Hodgson Burnett (The Lost Prince). While mainly known for
Zenda, Hawkins was a prolific writer of over 35 volumes of fictional work,
establishing a large fan base throughout England. His notoriety earned him a job
as a propaganda writer for England during World War I, for which he was knighted
in 1918. In 1937, four years following his death, Zenda was made into a
Hollywood film starring Ronald Colman and Madeleine Carroll. Fine
condition.
