"Hope mastered the vast knowledge of classical art and architecture accumulated in the eighteenth century in order to interpret and publicize it. He did as much as anyone in England to promote neo-classicism but his interests were wider and more complex; he was equally a proponent of the English picturesque and linked both as valid components of a wider Romantic movement" -ODNB.
