    ** Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, better known as Anthony Hope (1863-1933), was an English novelist and playwright. He was a prolific writer, especially of adventure novels but he is remembered best for only two books: The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau (1898). These works, "minor classics" of English literature, are set in the fictional country of Ruritania and spawned the genre known as Ruritanian romance. Zenda has inspired many adaptations, notably the 1937 Hollywood movie of the same name. In 1893 he wrote three novels (Sport Royal, A Change of Air, and Half-a-Hero) and a series of sketches that first appeared in the Westminster Gazette and were collected in 1894 as The Dolly Dialogues. Hope wrote 32 volumes of fiction over the course of his lifetime and he had a large popular following. He was knighted in 1918 for his contribution to propaganda efforts during World War I. There is a blue plaque presented by the Greater London Council on his house in Bedford Square, London.
