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 during his
lifetime. 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 filmstarring Ronald
Colman and Madeleine Carroll. Light adhesive residue on verso. Fine
