The Prisoner of Zenda - Anthony Hope - The Prisoner of Zenda (1894), by Anthony Hope, is an adventure novel in which the King of Ruritania is drugged on the eve of his coronation and thus is unable to attend the ceremony. Political forces within the realm are such that, in order for the king to retain the crown, his coronation must proceed. Fortuitously, an English gentleman on holiday in Ruritania who resembles the monarch is persuaded to act as his political decoy in an effort to save the unstable political situation of the interregnum. The name of the villain in The Prisoner of Zenda, Rupert of Hentzau, is the title of the sequel novel, Rupert of Hentzau (1898), published four years later and included in some editions of The Prisoner of Zenda. The popularity of the novels inspired the Ruritanian romance genre of literature, film, and theatre that features stories set in a fictional country, usually in Central Europe and Eastern Europe, such as Ruritania, the Central European realm that named the genre, Graustark from the novels by George Barr McCutcheon, and the neighbouring countries Syldavia and Borduria in the Tintin comics.

Quisantt

By: Anthony Hope

Sandro Quisante has stirred comment among the gentile and proper -- for while he seems a bit ill-mannered and erratic, and certainly not wealthy of appearance, he has gained his toehold in the hallways of the mighty through the aid of Sir Richard Benyon -- for reasons inexplicable even to Lady Richard. And now he has gone wooing a woman decidedly above his standing, to her disgust. As it happens, it is her friend May who receives the tentative, even clumsy attentions from the slender young man. The widowed Lady Attlebridge's slenderly dowered daughter, May does have a much more qualified suitor, Weston Marchmont -- who everyone thinks would be a superb match, being well above the ordinary run, well-educated and possessed with ample wealth and every prospect of a high career. Yet a feeling stirs within May -- something almost like a sense of adventure unfulfilled by her everyday life -- that makes her not quite turn away when Quisante comes to call. Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins (1863-1933), writing under the name of Anthony Hope, gained fame with "The Prisoner of Zenda" and other novels of an England well behind us but not forgotten.
