Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beverly Calhoun, an American college girl, discovers that her Cousin Oscar is the heir to the throne of Graustark, a European kingdom, and joins him there. They are met by the Duke Travina, the temporary regent. General Marlanx, pretender to the throne, learning of the young prince's arrival, plots with Saranoff to assassinate him. In the Alps, Oscar is injured while skiing, and the duke suggests that Beverly wear Oscar's uniform and impersonate him until he recovers; Saranoff's plot is thwarted by Danton, leader of a group of shepherds. Danton becomes her constant companion and guard, and she obtains women's clothing to charm him. Confusing her as a rival to the "prince," Danton jealously challenges the prince to a duel. Oscar reveals the impersonation to Marlanx, but Danton, acknowledging himself to be the prince of a nearby kingdom, exposes the pretender's plot and wins the hand of Beverly.

Download or read book Ruritania written by Nicholas Daly and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the long cultural shadow cast by a single bestselling novel, Anthony Hope's The Prisoner of Zenda (1894), which introduced Ruritania, a colourful pocket kingdom. In this swashbuckling tale, Englishman Rudolf Rassendyll impersonates the king of Ruritania to foil a coup, but faces a dilemma when he falls for the lovely Princess Flavia. Hope's novel inspired stage and screen adaptations, place names, and even a board game, but it also launched a whole new subgenre, the "Ruritanian romance". The new form offered swordplay, royal romance, and splendid uniforms and gowns in such settings as Alasia, Balaria, and Cadonia. This study explores both the original appeal of The Prisoner of Zenda, and the extraordinary longevity and adaptability of the Ruritanian formula, which, it is argued, has been rooted in a lingering fascination with royalty, and the pocket kingdom's capacity to hold a looking glass up to Britain and later the United States. Individual chapters look at Hope's novel and its stage and film adaptations; at the forgotten American versions of Ruritania; at the chocolate-box principalities of the musical stage; at Cold War reworkings of the formula; and at Ruritania's recent reappearance in young adult fiction and made-for-television Christmas movies. The adventures of Ruritania have involved a diverse list of contributors, including John Buchan, P.G Wodehouse, Agatha Christie, Vladimir Nabokov, and Ian Fleming among the writers; Sigmund Romberg and Ivor Novello among the composers; Erich Von Stroheim and David O. Selznick among the film-makers; and Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Peter Ustinov, Peter Sellers, and Anne Hathaway among the performers.
