Tietoja kirjoittajasta
Anthony Hope, born Anthony Hope Hawkins on February 9, 1863, in London, England, was a prolific writer whose name became synonymous with the adventure and romance genres of literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Educated at Marlborough and Balliol College, Oxford, Hope initially pursued a career in law before his writing gained public acclaim. His most famous work, 'The Prisoner of Zenda' (1894), firmly established him in the literary world, and he became better known by his pen name thereafter. 'Rupert of Hentzau' (1898) is the well-received sequel to his earlier masterpiece, continuing the swashbuckling and political intrigue of the fictional kingdom of Ruritania. Hope's writing is characterized by a mixture of wit, romance, and political commentary, and while he wrote over thirty novels, his early successes overshadowed his later works. His contribution to the genre of adventure novels has been noted for its influence on subsequent writers and for popularizing the concept of the 'Ruritanian romance', which inspired many adaptations in various forms of media. Hope continued to write until his passing on July 8, 1933, leaving behind a legacy encapsulated by daring escapades and courtly love.
