Autoren-Porträt von R. D. Blackmore
Richard Doddridge Blackmore, commonly known as R.D. Blackmore, was an eminent English novelist of the nineteenth century renowned for his romantic and adventurous novels set amidst the wild landscapes of the Devon countryside. Born on June 7, 1825, Blackmore was a pioneering figure in the pastoral romance genre, weaving quintessential expressions of Victorian values with vivid descriptions of rural life. Although Blackmore penned several novels, he is best remembered for his classic work, 'Lorna Doone' (1869), which established him as a master storyteller and a significant figure in the literary canon of his time. The lesser-known 'Christowell: A Dartmoor Tale' (1882), characterized by a blend of bucolic imagery and engaging characters, is another testimony to his narrative prowess and his ability to bring the countryside to life through literature. Blackmore's writing style often incorporated intricate plotlines and detailed pastoral imagery. His works not only entertained but also provided a social commentary on the tensions between tradition and progress during the Victorian era. Blackmore passed away on January 20, 1900, leaving behind a literary heritage that continues to captivate readers with its rustic charm and timeless themes.
