R. D. Blackmore Bücher

    Richard Doddridge Blackmore war ein gefeierter englischer Romanautor, der für seine lebendigen Beschreibungen und Personifizierungen der Landschaft berühmt war. Mit einem starken Sinn für regionale Schauplätze und tiefem Mitgefühl für die Natur, ähnlich wie Thomas Hardy, wurden seine Schriften für diese markanten Qualitäten gelobt. Als Pionier der neuen romantischen Bewegung in der Fiktion, oft als „Letzter Viktorianer“ bezeichnet, wurde sein literarisches Erbe durch sein Meisterwerk gefestigt, das seit seiner Veröffentlichung beträchtliche Popularität genießt. Obwohl sein breiteres Werk in Vergessenheit geraten ist, fesselt dieses romantische Meisterwerk die Leser weiterhin.
