Autorenporträt
Richard Doddridge Blackmore (1825-1900), widely recognized as R. D. Blackmore, was an eminent English novelist of the Victorian era. His writing career flourished in the latter half of the 19th century, with a predominant focus on romantic and historical fiction. Blackmore's prose was characterized by its vivid descriptions of landscape and a nostalgic affection for rural life, often reflecting his personal admiration for nature. One of Blackmore's notable novels, 'The Maid of Sker' (1872), presents itself as a masterful blend of romance and gothic elements, setting it amidst the stark backdrop of the Welsh coast. Though 'The Maid of Sker' enjoys critical acclaim, Blackmore's acclaim largely rests on his celebrated work 'Lorna Doone' (1869), a romance set in Exmoor and renowned for its portrayal of love amidst tumultuous social and historical contexts. Blackmore's literary style combined the adventurous spirit of the time with the psychological depth, creating narratives that were both accessible and thought-provoking. He was not prolific in comparison to some of his contemporaries, but his substantial contribution to the literary landscape of his time is marked by the enduring popularity of his work and his influence on the pastoral literary tradition.
