Autorenporträt
Richard Doddridge Blackmore, often known as R.D. Blackmore, was an eminent English novelist of the Victorian era renowned for his romantic and historical novels. Born on June 7, 1825, in Longworth, Berkshire, Blackmore was an ardent scholar and a devout classicist. He was educated at Blundell's School and Exeter College, Oxford, before embarking on a brief career as a lawyer. However, his true passion lay in literature, turning to writing after a series of unsuccessful ventures in agriculture. Blackmore's literary style is characterized by his vivid description of landscape, a reflection of his deep love for the English countryside, and a penchant for melodrama. While he produced a decent corpus of work, Blackmore is best remembered for 'Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor' (1869), a novel frequently considered amongst the classics of English literature and undoubtedly his crowning achievement. 'Kit and Kitty: A Tale of West Middlesex' is another of his works, providing a view into his versatile narratives and detailed pastoral descriptions. Despite a progressive decline in health, he continued to write until he passed away on January 20, 1900. Blackmore's literature, often overshadowed by his contemporaries, remains integral to the canon of Nineteenth-century English fiction, offering timeless insights into the rural society and landscapes of his day. His works continue to be read and celebrated for their linguistic charm and rich portrayal of the Victorian era.
