in Clapton, London, The United Kingdom
February 09, 1863

Died
July 08, 1933

Prolific English novelist and playwright Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins especially composed adventure. People remember him best only for book The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its sequel book Rupert of Hentzau (1898). These works, "minor classics" of English literature, set in the contemporaneous fictional country of Ruritania, spawned the genre, known as Ruritanian romance. Zenda inspired many adaptations, most notably the Hollywood movie of 1937 of the same name.

“There are moments when I dare not think of it, but there are others when I rise in spirit to where she ever dwells; then I can thank God that I love the noblest lady in the world, the most gracious and beautiful, and that there was nothing in my love that made her fall short in her high duty.”
