talent the See also:attention of editors and readers; but it was not till the following See also:year that he attained a See also:great popular success with the publication (May 1894) of The Prisoner of Zenda. This was followed a few See also:weeks later by The Dolly Dialogues (previously published in See also:separate instalments in the See also:Westminster Gazette). Both books became parents of a numerous progeny. The Prisoner of Zenda, owing something to the See also:Prince See also:Otto of R. L. See also:Stevenson, established a See also:fashion for what was christened, after its fictitious locality, " Ruritanian See also:romance "; while the Dolly Dialogues, inspired possibly by " See also:Gyp " and other See also:French See also:dialogue writers, was the forerunner of a whole school of epigrammatic See also:drawing-See also:room See also:comedy. The Prisoner of Zenda, with Mr See also:Alexander as " See also:Rupert Rassendyll," enjoyed a further success in a dramatized See also:form at the St James's See also:Theatre, which did still more to popularize the author's fame. In 1894 also appeared The See also:God in the See also:Car, a novel suggested by the ambiguous See also:influence on See also:English society of See also:Cecil See also:Rhodes's career; and See also:Half a See also:Hero, a complementary study of Australian politics. The same year saw further the publication of The Indiscretion of the Duchess, in the See also:style of the Dolly Dialogues, and of another collection of stories named (after the first) The See also:Secret of Wardale See also:Court. In 1895 Mr Hawkins published See also:Count See also:Antonio, and contributed to Dialogues of the See also:Day, edited by Mr See also:Oswald See also:Crawfurd. Comedies of Courtship and The See also:Heart of the Princess Osra followed in 1896; Phroso in 1897; See also:Simon See also:Dale and Rupert of Hentzau (sequel of the Prisoner of Zenda) 1898; and The See also:- KING

King's See also:Mirror, a Ruritanian romance with an infusion of serious psychological See also:interest, 1899. The author was advancing from his See also:light comedy and gallant romantic inventions to the graver See also:kind of fiction of which The God in the Car had been an earlier See also:essay. Quisante, published in 1900, was a study of English society See also:face to face with a See also:political See also:genius of an See also:alien type. Tristram of Blent (1901) embodied an ethical study of See also:family See also:pride. The Intrusions of Peggy reflected the effects on society of See also:recent See also:financial fashions. In 1904 he published See also:Double See also:Harness, and in 1905 A Servant of the Public, two novels of See also:modern society, containing somewhat cynical pictures of the See also:condition of See also:marriage. With increasing gravity the novelist sacrificed some of the See also:charm of his earlier irresponsible gaiety and buoyancy; but his See also:art retained its wit and urbanity while
it gained in grip of the social conditions of contemporary See also:life. He wrote two plays, The See also:Adventure of See also:Lady See also:Ursula (1898) and Pilkerton's See also:Peerage (1902), and his later novels include The Great Hiss See also:Driver (1908) and Second See also:String (1909). Mr Hawkins's attractive and cultured style and command of See also:plot give him a high See also:place among the modern writers of English fiction. In 1903 he married See also:Miss See also:Elizabeth See also:Somerville See also:Sheldon of New See also:York.
