CAINE, Hall Sir (Thomas Henry) Hall
- CAINE, Hall Sir (Thomas Henry) Hall
(1853-1931)
UK writer of what were enormously bestselling novels in the late 19th century but were almost forgotten by his death. The Mahdi, or Love and Race (1894) depicts a
NEAR FUTURE uprising at the behest of the eponymous leader of the faithful. The Eternal City (1901), printed in a first edition of 100,000, sets a complex near-future intrigue alight in a Pope-dominated Rome. The White Prophet (1909), again marginally displaced into the future, is set in Egypt, where intrigue is rife. A play, The Prime Minister (written c1911; 1918), set in the future, depicts romance threatening policy.
