Timeline

1863

British novelist/playwright Anthony Hope was born Anthony Hope Hawkins on 2/9/1863, in London. His father was the headmaster of the St. Johns Foundation School for the Sons of Poor Clergy. He was educated at Marlborough School and Baliol College, Oxford, obtaining an M. A.

1885

with honors in 1885.

1887

He studied to become a lawyer, and was admitted to the bar in 1887. He set up his own practice, but clients were few and far between, and he spent the periods in between cases by writing novels. When he couldn't find a publisher for his first novel, he published it himself. It became a hit, coincidentally at the same time his law practice began to take off. When it got to the point where he had to choose between his law practice and writing, he chose writing.

1894

He published two successful novels in 1894--"The Dolly Dialogues", which was fairly successful but is little remembered today, and the now-classic "The Prisoner of Zenda". "Zenda" is generally credited as the first--and the best--of what came to be known as "Ruritanian" novels, stories set in a small fictional European principality involving intrigue, double-crossing, power grabs and forbidden romance at the royal court (Richard Harding Davis, among others, took up that particular genre with his "Graustark" series), and "Zenda" has been made into film and television productions at least ten times.

1897

He first toured the US in 1897, and made several subsequent trips there.

1898

In 1898 Hope wrote a sequel of sorts, "Rupert of Hentzau", using the villainous character of "Zenda".

1903

On one of them he met an American woman named Elizabeth Somerville Sheldon, and they married in 1903. The marriage produced two sons and a daughter.

1918

Hope was knighted in 1918 and bought a country estate at Tadworth in Surrey, where he spent the rest of his life. He wrote more books and several plays.
